iv Not very much is known about this 55 x 26cm painting on bark, which was bought from among a stack on the counter in a department store in Darwin in 1965. Of the six figures, almost certainly men, three are musicians using a didgeridoo and two sets of clapsticks, and three are dancing. It is possible that a religious ceremony is depicted.
