This painting depicts designs associated with the rock hole site of Marrapinti,
just west of the Kiwirrkura Community. A large group of senior women camped
at this rock hole making the nose bones which are worn through a hole
in the septum. The women later travelled east passing through the Kiwirrkura
area, The shapes in the painting represent the country surrounding the
site.
