Catalogue Note
This painting is sold with a Waringarri Arts and Crafts tag that features a diagramatic explanation of the story depicted. The loop shape on the left is water flowing down to Lake Gregory (Burragu), and the crescent on the right is the reef. The tag reads: ' Two dingo chased the Emu to kill it. They had a fight but didn't kill the Emu. Two dingos went to Mulan.'
