The miny'tji (sacred clan designs) is Mangalili freshwater and talks of Nuykal the Kingfish, rotting wood ranga (sacred object) under the water and the sacred yoku (corms of the water lily) representing the yothu (children) of the Mangalili fed on by the Bilthu (Rifle fish).

This painting depicts in sacred abstraction the corms of the plant, being washed from the lily beds by the flooding Wayawu. THe miny'tji underlying this painting represents the Mangalili essence (of Nuykal) in this water. The artist depicts the figurative form of Yoku as an aide to those who cannot see it in the pattern.
