Description/Remarks    Colour etching on paper depicting dark orange lines of vertical dots on a variegated orange/yellow ground. Depicts the country known as Parwalla, south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert, west of Kiwirrkurra and dominated by sandhills. Parwalla is a large swampy area that fills with water after the wet season and produces abundant bush foods.
