This painting depicts designs associated with Tingari Ceremonies at the site
of the swamp and rockhole of Marawa, to the west of Lake Mackay. In mythological
times a group of Tingari Men travelled from the west, over the sandhills, and
made camp at this site before continuing on to Lake Mackay. The lines through
the work represent the sandhills.
