Ngalyipi Jukurrpa Purturlu (meaning Snake Vine Dreaming)
Ngalyipi (snake vine) is often represented in contemporary Warlpiri paintings by curved lines and has great ceremonial significance for Warlpiri. Ngalyipi is used to make shoulder straps to help carry ngami (water carriers) and parraja (wooden food carriers). In this painting the Napangardi and Napanangka women are collecting ngalyipi. The Ngalyipi Jukurrpa is associated with initiation ceremonies for young Japanangka and Japangardi men.
