The designs depicted in this painting were painted on the arms and breasts of the woman partaking in the ceremonies. Long ago, the paint was made up from earth colored ochre and resin, charcoal and white ashes from the campfire were also used. In the Contemporary Aboriginal Art paintings of today, acrylic paint has replaced these natural pigments and the designs have become more colorful, still retaining the same basic shapes.
