The concentric circles represent sacred sites associated with this Women’s Dreamtime. We see the women, symbolised by the U-shaped forms, with their wooden trays (0) and their digging sticks. The U-shapes also represent the initiates performing a ceremony and, on a deeper level, the Female Ancestors who created these sites and left a spiritual imprint.
Formerly in the Anne de Wall Collection, laj w 0033, Utrecht
