Biographical history
Brief description of site: The site is on a large shelter half way up western side of Mtusi Hill. Under a large boulder and not obvious until very close. Excellently protected, could have been used as habitation or hiding place. A kasiyamaliro was being stored at the site when we visited. View into rocks and trees. Arduous but simple access.
Brief description of art: The whole shelter quite blackened by soot. The images are on the back wall and on the ceiling, many are rather unclear and blackened. The images include: many spread-eagled designs, one remarkably large and fat, a snake-like meander all daubed in white. Also a set of concentric half-circles open at base applied by finger in white.
