Biographical history
Brief description of site: A small recessed shelter (12m2 of protected floor) half way up the western side of
Chencherere main hill. Shaded, secluded and protected with fine view to the west.
Excellent observation point for game movements in valley area to the west. Site ideal for
habitation. Roofheavily smoke blackened, suggesting much use.
Brief description of art: Back wall of shelter now smothered by recent graffiti in black charcoal. There
are a few outline zoomorpic designs also in charcoal (mostly nyau - kasiyamaliro). Under
these can be made out the faint remnants a few concentric circles and a sets of paralle1lines,
all applied by finger in red and filled with white. These earlier motifs may have been much
more extensive but appear mostly to have been destroyed.
