History
Brief description of art: There are two large antelope torsos and many human figures. At the right on the big boulder there are three figures carrying short sticks with strings/thongs in their right hands. Below these are three thin figures with long ears. Another figure has its arms raised.
A large torso has been painted over where the legs may have been. There is also a figure falling backwards about 15 cm long with its head obscured by a white deposit. There are also smeared images.
There are more interesting images on the northern facet of the rock that we noticed later. There is one figure with quiver filled with what could be flywhisks. There are sitting figures, rather faded some with bows. Painted above a small indentation in the rock. A kudu may be coming out of this indentation. A buffalo or wildebeest head. Three giraffe, one very faded that was in white with the horn knobs and top of head red.
