The painting depicts the seed of the pencil yam plant which is a principal Aboriginal food source (bush tucker), gathered by the Aboriginal women from Alhalkere country, Utopia, Aboriginal Art Regions of Central Australia.
Ceremonies which include song and dance are performed by the women to pay homage to the spirit of the yam plant to ensure perpetual germination.
