Description
This painting is accompanied by an annotated hand drawn diagram in Peter Fannin's hand attached verso. It depicts the hunting of the rock wallaby (waru). Two hunters wait on each side of the big rock, while other people with yam sticks make noise to scare the rock wallaby toward the hunters.
