Catalogue text

This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artist's Pty Ltd which reads, 'This painting depicts designs associated with the travels of the Kungka Kutjarra (Two Women) to a site on the south side of Lake MacDonald.

The Two women were digging for the small animal Kuningka (Western Quoll). These animals usually live in burrows which were dug by other animals such as the Burrowing Bettongor Rabbits and occasionally in hollow logs. The women later continued their travels east.'
