Physical description
Subdued olive green, red ochre, white and purplish-brown tonality distinguishes this work which is further characterised by its classic Warlpiri icongraphy. The concentric circles indicate sites associated with the yam, the parallel lines indicate the path of the Dreaming and the U-shapes represent a person seated.
