In this artwork, Jarinyanu David Downs used both natural ochre pigments and synthetic polymer paint to depict the ancestral figure Kurungaiya. Downs’s painting shows Kurungaiya on a hunting journey, carrying his coolamon of bush tucker on his head, with the tails of the animals spilling over the edges of the container. The vessel recalls the boards that dancers hold above their heads in contemporary ceremonial performances in the Kimberley.

In this significant Dreaming story, Kurungaiya is attacked by devil dingoes on his return to camp but, being a maparn (doctor man), he has the power to ward off danger.
