The painting depicts Aboriginal iconography referring to the Janganpaaboriginal glossary button Jukurrpaaboriginal glossary button.


Illustrated Aboriginal Symbols and their Meanings are:

  • The E shapes represent possum tracks
  • The circles and wavy lines represent waterholes connected by running water
  • The U shapes represents the Tjapaljarri man with spear and black shield
  • The groups of U shapes represent women sitting around campsite or waterhole

The artist explains that the possums come out at night, when the moon is present and this is when the Tjapaljarriaboriginal glossary button man hunts.
