This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage water site of Marrapinti, west of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia. The rows of parallel lines in the painting represent the tali (sandhills) of the area. During ancestral times a large group of women gathered at this site during their travels towards the east. While at the site the women made the nose bones, also known as marrapinti, which are worn through a hole made in the nose web. These nose bones were originally used by both men and women but are now only inserted by the older generation on ceremonial occasions. Upon completion of the ceremonies at Marrapinti the women continued their travels east to Ngaminya and then onto Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).
