              Bags and digging sticks.

              Bushman beliefs suggest that bags had a special significance beyond everyday use. Their relation to trance metaphors is illustrated in San mythology, where parallels were drawn between getting into a skin bag and getting into an animal- that is, taking on its potency. Therefore, bags painted next to a dance or by themselves, are probably an indication of a trance experience.               Bessie I 5

              Rhinos.

              Rhinos and hippos are more common as engravings than paintings. Both the black and white rhinos are represented.
              Some are so carefully engraved so that the characteristic folds of their skin are depicted.               Bessie I 5
