In this print she has shown the edible tuber, Manyigani, an unidentified plant which grows in the Arafura Swamp. Clara most commonly paints the edible tuber, Manyigani and fresh water fish from the Arafura swamp lands. The water python and file snake are also primary totems and important subjects in her work.
