This painting is sold with a Papunya Tula Artists certificate which reads in part: 'This painting depicts designs associated with the Kungka Kutjarra (Two Women) at the rockhole site known as Winpirri, to the west of the Papunya Community. The centre shows the rockhole and the water is shown as sinuous lines. The U shapes are women who are shown with their coolamons (oblong shapes) and digging sticks. The sinuous red lines represent the surrounding sandhills, while the yellow bursts are the spinifex'.
