Catalogue Note
This painting is sold with an accompanying Papunya Tula Artists certificate, that reads in part: "The atnyilenge plant (Eremophilla latrobil) yields an edible nectar. U shapes are Tjungurrayi and Tjapaltjarri men of the Dreamtime. The concentric circle indicates the site while lines ending in tassels represent marrapinti or traditional nose bones or sticks."
