This painting is sold with an accompanying Papunya Tula Artists certificate that reads: 'This painting depicts designs associated with the site of Pukanya, a rockhole in a creek, east of Mt. Webb in Western Australia. There is also a large claypan nearby which contains soakage water. The artist stated that her mother passed away at this site.
A group of women, represented by the 'U' shapes, came from the west and camped at this site before continuing their travels east to Pinari, a rockhole north of Kintore. During their travels they gathered the edible berries and seeds growing in the area through which they passed.'
