The Warlayirti Artists certificate that comes with this rare and early 1994 painting from Wirrimanu (Balgo), states:
“There is strong law connected with this sacred women’s story from Muntja’s Dreaming Country. She is one of the senior custodians for law and ceremony in the area.
In this painting water is coming up from an underground cave. Women are locked up in this cave. Muntja’s sister is using her wana (digging stick) to see which way the water is flowing.
An old man has broken her toes to stop her from running away. He is looking for a key to open the underground cave.
