History
Brief description of site: A boulder leaning to the south on a steep middle slope of Chongoni Mountain southeast side. Overhang provides 10m2 of shade and protection. Perennial stream runs past the south corner of the boulder. Could have made a small habitation site, pottery scatter on floor suggests shelter has been used. Access very arduous involving a long scramble up
steep vegetated slopes.
Brief description of art: The art consists of 2 large daubed motifs in white: one a spread-eagled design, other an unusual design resembling the Chewa chitopoli (tribal marking). There are also many images applied by finger in red. The motifs include: sets of parallel vertical and horizontal lines, a concentric circle, a circle with externally radiating lines, 2 half circles open at top with single vertical internal division, another similar but open at base, 2 half circles open at top with multiple vertical internal divisions, a vertically stretched circle with two curving vertical internal divisions. Some parallel lines have a brown fill in between. The variations in shade of red pigment suggest work of many separate artists.
