This painting depicts designs associated with the travels of an old woman, Kutungka
Napanangka, from the west. She visited the soakage water site of Tjintjintjin
which is west of Mantati Outstation, approximately seventy kilometres west of
the Kintore Community. She also visited Yaranga and Ngatanga. The lines represent
the sandhills in the area. She travelled further east to Muruntji, south-west
of Mt. Liebig. This old woman is said to be a bit of a ‘devil-devil’ as
she kills and eats people.
