This painting is sold with an accompanying Papunya Tula Artists certificate which reads in part: 'This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage water site of Tjiturrulpa, situated in the rocky hills west of the Kintore Community. During mythological times a group of men and women travelled east from the site toward the rockhole site of Illpilli. Along the way they gathered material for the production of various tools used in everyday life. The lines in the painting depict the lengths of wood that are yet to be fashioned into a variety of tools including kulata (spears), wana (nulla nullas), kiritji (shield) and kali (boomerang)'.
