This painting is sold with an accompanying Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association certificate that reads in part: 'Yamijijiarnu was an old Jangala man who came south from Jurutawarriji to Kalparandi. At this place he made a big camp and from there travelled all over the country collecting watiyawarnu seeds. At the top of the canvas is Murnurlu from which place he travelled to Yamajiyanu, Yampirlipajurnu, Kalparanti, Ngarlikurlangu and Kalkardingapa. These sites are represented consecutively from the top of the canvas to the bottom'.
