This painting is accompanied by Warlayirti Artists documentation
The documentation reads:
'Artist's Country. The painting is of the famous 'Mulyarti' country where the desert men find their finest spears. In the dreaming period a man came through here dragging his spear and leaving a track in the ground. Young initiates followed and he showed them the features and resources of the land. They were holding big ceremonies at these places and today these are still recreated'.
