Summary
This photograph was captioned by Walter Baldwin Spencer as "Arunta woman carrying child" and was taken in Alice Springs during the Horn Expedition of 1894. The anthropologist, Olive Muriel Pink, showed this photograph (which was published in Spencer's 'The Arunta' in 1927) to senior Arrernte men in the 1930s. The Arrernte men identified this woman as 'Ordnear' or 'Utneye' Perrurle, the wife of a man known as Jockey Jim Penangke. The name 'Utneye' is an Arrernte word for the woma python.
