This painting is sold with an accompanying Irrunytju Arts certificate that reads: "Minyma kutjara is the story about two sisters. The older sister was teaching the younger one how to make manguri (head ring used to help carry loads). They were using hair, spinning it like the old women today still do, emu feathers and grass. The place where they sat is just near to Irrunytju".
