Physical description
Represents designs associated with "ngalyipi" (medicine vine) used to make "witi" poles for initiation ceremonies. The central linear section represents the path of the Dreaming which interconnects two important sites, indicated by concentric circles. The arc shapes indicate people gathered for ritual. The "ngalyipi" plants are represented figuratively towards the edge.
