As told by the artist:

This is the Gunga Dhawu (Pandanas Story).When the djamarrkuḻi(‘) (children) have tooth pain and the tooth comes out it is placed in the gunga roots so they will grow again. Also when a yothu (baby) is born the nut of the gunga tree is smoked over the baby for their health and for them to grow stronger.
