This painting is accompanied by documentation from Papunya Tula Artists which reads:

'This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Umari, situated in sandhill country, east of Mt. Webb in Western Australia. The lines represent the sandhills surrounding the site. A number of women gathered at the site to perform ceremonies. The women, one of the Nangala kinship subsection and the others of the Napaltjarri kinship subsection, later travelled towards the east.'
