This painting is sold with accompanying notes signed by Geoffrey Bardon with a photocopy of an annotated diagram of the painting. The notes read in part: 'This painting was painted at Yei Yei Bore 20 kilometres west of Papunya after I had requested Anatjari No. III to do a picture for Mr Reg Brabham. Anatjari tells the story of how men, represented by the concentric circles, sit in a cave indicated by the central squared pattern where they are linked together by string shown by the straight lines connecting the concentric circles. The white dotting represents the prepared earth in the corroboree area and the work is a good example of Pintupi dreamings. Tjurunga or sacred sticks are shown'.
