This painting is sold with an accompanying Warlayirti Artists certificate that reads in part: "This painting depicts some of Eubena's traditional country located in the Great Sandy Desert, south west of Balgo. This country is found along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route, around Kurrawarritji. The majority of the painting shows the talis (sand hills) that dominate the landscape of the area. The central circle depict tjurnnu (soakwater) and are names from left to right Kinyu, Nyilpilya and Kunawarritji. Kinyu the spirit dog lives at Kinyu tjurrnu and would watch over Eubena when she was hunting for bilby in this country."
