This painting is a tjukurrpa story that is very important to the people from Docker River. 'Kunga Kutjara' means 'Two
Girls'. The story involves sensitive information that only women are allowed to know, and therefore cannot be published.

This painting needs to be framed. It’s also being sent direct from the artist at a remote art centre, Tjarlirli Art, in the top end. Please note there is only one mail plane a week that picks up the artworks. The tracking information is then received a week later when the mail plane returns so often the paintings are delivered before we receive the tracking information. Please expect a slightly longer wait for this very special artwork to arrive.
