Brief description of site: A tall isolated boulder standing in fields on flat land a few hundred metres northeast of Banda hill. Variously known as Malunza and Chinkanda. The boulder lists to the northeast providing slight protection to the north and east rock-faces from direct rainfall. All areas of protected surface hold traces of red pigment. Brief description of art: The general degree of protection from sun and washing is poor. Motifs only survive in the best-protected areas; originally the area painted must have been much larger. Motifs include: 2 circles with externally radiating lines, a circle, a stretched circle with multiple vertical divisions, 3 sets of parallel vertical lines one joined by horizontal bars, a vertical row of upwardly pointing V shapes with line up centre, various vertical lines. All motifs in similar shade of red pigment and in finger width lines, no overlays or suggestions of sequence.
Site
Brief description of site: The site is on a boulder sitting amongst smaller rocks at the northeast corner of Banda hill. It leans to the east providing protection to a small platform area. The base of the boulder is hidden by thick vegetation making it well secluded. The site is shaded and provides some shelter. The images are on a slanting surface underneath the leaning section of the boulder. Brief description of art: The rain washes over a large section of the rock and has caused the partial destruction of some of the images. The images include: 3 large daubed spread-eagled motifs in white, 2 of which are partially destroyed. There is also a smudged area of red pigment.
Site
Brief description of site: Half way up a steep lower slope on the east side of Banda hill. A large boulder overhangs to the northeast providing protection to a small platform area on the hillside. Pictographs survive on the protected areas of this face as well as on the vertical front of a rock that blocks the west end of the site. There is not enough shelter to allow habitation but the site is pleasantly shaded. Brief description of art: Degree of protection varied, most areas are relatively well protected. The left section almost certainly had more pictographs that have now been destroyed. Numerous pictographs, most linear or curvilinear in form. Shapes include: many sets of vertical parallel lines, 1 enclosed grid, 1 concentric circle, 3 concentric half-circles open at top, 2 circles with internal vertical divisions and another with horizontal divisions, a vertical sausage shape with multiple horizontal divisions, various short filled and outline horizontal bars with three vertical lines leading off downwards. All these motifs applied by finger using similar shades of red, 2 have white lines in between the red. There is also a single zoomorphic charcoal outline design (nyau - kasiyamaliro). Little suggestion of a sequence, though details in method suggest many artists, the charcoal motif appears to be very recent.
