Pygmy (Forest Hunter Gatherers, Batwa)
Mwala Wanjuchi I
Site
Brief description of site: A large isolated boulder standing in fields near the base of the 'hill of the bees'. Two protected surface have been painted. Neither provide any shade or shelter both are simply clean rock surfaces. Easy access, limited outlook.
Brief description of art: The art consists of various sets of parallel vertical lines, a circle, a horizontal row of dots and a circle with multiple vertical internal divisions. All the images are faded due to extensive washing by water. There are also many parallel rows of dots in curving lines. All applied by finger in red.
Mwamwa II
Site
Brief description of site: The site is on the top edge of the Northern side of the second to last peak on the Mamwa Hill (?) from the lakeshore end. Access is difficult up a tunnel going up a hill. The shelter faces sideways into the hill and can't really be seen from below. The site has very fine views of Cape Maclear, it is nicely shaded until the late afternoon.
Brief description of art: There are very poor remains of the art and the rock is very rough and the paint has not adhered well. There is a lot of washing and merely a crude set of parallel lines still exist.
