This painting is about Dreamtime Women decorating each other for ceremonies.  During preparation time, faces and bodies are painted, bush tucker is gathered, and there is song and dance.  In this painting the women (represented by the ‘U’ shapes) can be seen with their digging sticks (represented by short vertical lines).  The cross shape represents jalyirpa (branches) and the concentric circle ngurlu (seed) used for ceremonies.  Also shown is the Wedge-tailed Eagle, typically represented by circles depicting the eggs and concentric circles depicting the nests, which are often connected by squiggly lines.
