Namulundu LXXXIV
Site
Brief description of art: Geometrics.The art consists of a massive collection of concentric circles all joined by parallel lines. Over 30 sets of concentric circles joined in to form the pattern of a circle with a single internal vertical division and a curving line leading from the top and running to the left. All the images are in a similar hand, seemingly executed at similar time by same artist. There is also a half circle open at the base and a sausage shape with multiple horizontal internal divisions. All executed by finger in red. Lastly there is a concentric circle and a half circle made out of short lines both applied by finger in white (white occurs in more washed areas, may be the result of a reaction with water).

Brief description of art: Finger Dots. The main panel includes remnants of 6 large animal designs and two smaller animal designs. Working right to left, first animal facing right executed in fine outline and overlain by massed horizontal rows of dots and sets of parallel lines. Species uncertain, odd horizontal line protruding from nose. Next pair of animals also face right and are both similar shaped and accurately proportioned. One is filled, the other partially filled. Both have long curling horns and look like bovids, probably buffalo. Only head of fourth animal remains, it is filled and appears to be a bovid. The final pair face to the left but are otherwise similar to the first pair of bovids. Both are partially filled. The two small animals are both of indeterminate species, one is filled, the other partially filled, only the rear
section of one remains. All animals are applied by brush in red. Bovids so similar that they may be by same artist, others are significantly different. There are also some parallel lines, 2 circles, a circle with three vertical lines radiating from its base, a vertically stretched circle with internal horizontal divisions, and various dots, all applied by finger in red.
