This painting is sold with an accompanying Papunya Tula Artists certificate that reads in part: 'The artist has shown in this painting the profusion of the bush foods that grow at Mamultjungku, a large swamp, near Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). The small bush, mungilpa, grows and from that are gathered small black seeds which are ground into damper. The roundels in the painting indicate the mulga trees in the area.'
