This painting depicts designs associated with Womens'
Ceremonies at the rockhole and soakage water site of Ngaminya, just
to the south-west of the Kiwirrkura Community. The roundels are rockholes
and camp sites and the "U" shapes are women. The women have
gathered at the site to perform the dances and sing the songs associated
with the area.
