| Description/Remarks | Image depicts a large black rectangular shape above a smaller, black, irregular oval shape; both delineated by red and white dotted outlines; all against a red ochre-coloured ground. From Waringarri Aboriginal Arts - Print Description: "This print shows the rainbow snake (the dark shape). He is perishing due to lack of water and has passed away. After he passed away he turned into this hill, Kalwah, as depicted by the large rectangle and this is the form he still has today." |
