Description
The painting shows the area where the artist spent the first part of his life and he knows the area intimately. The site is very important for Men’s Law and is related to rain – making ceremonies of which the artist is one of the senior custodians. There are depressions in the land here which are believed to show where these two men lay and sacred rocks that are held to have special powers.
As appears on the Warlayirti Artists certificate.
