Nyero V
Site
Brief description of site: It is a small boulder with a slight ledge, nicely shaded and looking across the fields to Moru-Ikara Primary school. The site was probably well concealed when the bush was thicker. The shelter has a broken peice of rock that forms a good seat. The shelter measures 4m wide and 180m high.
Brief description of art: The motif is in red monochrome and appears to have been painted by a combination of brush and finger painting. There also appears to be overlays of pigment. Half the surface is covered with an image in red monochrome. The image is a unique motif , there are probably other parts that could suggest a similarity with other sites that have been lost in the wash.
Nyero VI
Site
Brief description of site: This is an open site, directly exposed to the rain and the mid morning sun. Looking out across the plains, fields and village below. The site appears to have always been exposed but being rather high it could have been covered by tree top cover from the trees below, high of the village path.
Brief description of art: Facing the boulder to the left are traces of red monochrome pigment left off from a larger image (probably) now unclear from washed salts. The images are two oval shapes and one L shaped (solid) line drawing. The central motif is an outline almost 'crossed' shaped figure similar to UGA-MUK3. To the right of this image is an outline of a circle. Below the 'cross-like' motif is a crescent shape as well as a circular shape. All the images are faint and the rough surface of the panel makes them very difficult to see. The paintings can only be seen when one is very close to the panel. There does not appear to be any overlays.
