This dreaming tells about the special seeds we use for grinding and making
powder. The women add water to make a special damper. They put the
damper in the coals for cooking. There are many different seeds we collect.

Nakamarra, Jupurrurla and Jakamarra. Kurdungurlu or checking group of

This painting depicts the ngurlu (seeds), marna (grass), Karnta (women), their
parraja (oval wooden dishes) kajipa (dancing sticks).
