Tiger Palpatja

Tiger is telling us about favorite traditional foods the Pitjantjatjara people hunted and cooked to eat. The larger animal shapes are lizards. The spots or dots indicate that he has painted the Perentie or Monitor lizard, which is recognisable by its large spots on its back. The smaller lizards are Tinka or Sand Goanna and Langka or Blue Tongue lizards. The circles with dots represent kampurarpa or bush raisin.
