Lance Bennett's accompanying documentation reads in part:

"The artist has here shown a family of namarnde spirits hunting for flying fox spirits. A flying fox is shown hanging upside down from a branch having not yet left its camp to fly about hunting for fruit on trees. Two of the female spirits are shown wearing pubic aprons: folded pieces of paperbark held in place with bush string (spun from the bark strips of the Banyan tree). The husband has removed the apron from the third wife and is making love to her while they keep eye on the prey."
