Description
 
Bai Bai has painted some of her traditional country, which is located in The Great Sandy Desert, south of Balgo. This country is known as Mukuri. The central red band depicts the path that people would use through this country. Above the path are shown the nearby hills and caves, in which some of Bai Bai's father's family lived. The lower portion of the painting depicts the sandhills, or tali, which dominate the landscape of the area. The small dot work here represents two types of seeds that are found here, and used for flour, lukarrar and idakatji.
