Maningrida, Northern Territory
The Collection of the Late Ian Dunlop, Canberra, acquired from the above in June 1963

In 1963, Ian Dunlop visited Maningrida whilst filming Aborigines of Australia, which was produced by the Australian Commonwealth Film Board for the Department of Territories. At that time, Dunlop acquired all three bark paintings by Magani and took slides of the artist painting which are now held in the National Archives of Australia.
