Description
Catalogue Note
This painting is sold with a copy of the original Papunya Tula documentation which reads in part:
"This painting depicts designs associated with the Wallaby and Bushfire Dreamings at the salt lake site of Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald). In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men travelled to this site where they lit a fire to flush out the wallabies. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given."
