Description/Remarks    Image of black dots and grid lines on red ground depicts Nakarra Nakarra country south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert, one of the sites of the Seven Sisters Dreaming - a story about seven sisters who travelled the landscape running from an old man who wants to marry the youngest. At Nakarra Nakarra a group of hills embody the seven sisters. The circle in the image represents a "tjurrnu" or soakwater and the lines are the "tali" or sandhills. (Warlayirti Artists)
