This painting is really about two things - tree roots used for bush medicine with flowers in the background. Mangarri is a kind of Bush Medicine. The plant roots are gathered, ground up and boiled in water. This is used on the skin. You don't eat this one. Also, the painting has a necklace made from seeds. The seeds are decorated with a hot wire from the fire. Women make necklaces for decoration and ceremony.
