| Description/Remarks |
Painting has central circular design and dissecting lines in red pigment . The delineated sections are filled in orange pigment over black, applied in an uneven dotted manner.
This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Tjiturrulpa, west of the Kintore Community in Western Australia. The rockhole is large and the water is very cold. A group of women camped in the area digging for the edible tubers known as pitjara (desert yam) from the vine-like shrub Ipomoea costata. They also gathered the edible fruit known as pura (bush tomato) from the shrub Solanum chippendalei and berries, kampurarrpa (desert raisin) from the shrub Solanum centrale.
