              A243 (A). Bees, human figures, and karosses.

              In rock art, one sees depictions of nested U-shapes with bees. Bushman shamans interpreted this particular shape as a honeycomb because bees are a Bushman symbol of potency. In the Kalahari, Bushmen dance when bees are swarming because they believe that they can harness their potency for a particularly effective dance.               Poacher’s Shelter I

              In the open gallery (which form the right part of the shelter), the paintings have very little protection from the sun and rain and nearly all of them are severely damaged. On this panel, an umber of human figures, equipment and remains of animal figures are still recognisable. At the right, a dead eland is lying with its hind legs sticking up. Four bags are painted nearby.

              While only a few painted flakes have remained on the upper part of this portion of the wall, a small group of less damaged figures can be seen at the bottom, a few human figures and two beautiful little bucks, all superimposed by a larger eland. Two remains of small bichrome eland can be recognised at the right.

              A bichrome eland at the top right, six human figures in a row on the left, below them there is a pair of bushbuck and still further down, there is a group of running men. The way in which the number of bodies, arms and legs are accommodated in this tight composition is certainly an artistic achievement. There are also four Vaal rhebok, an aardvark {Aardvarks (earth pigs)}and other animals as well as a few remains of human figures. At the right, a human runs away from a feline (felines). Here, the hunter becomes the hunted. This scene suggested the name RSA LER1, although it is uncertain whether the animal is a leopard or a lion.

              A shaded polychrome eland painted on a smooth part of the rock face at the right. It overlies another animal, and a small buck is depicted below it. Higher up are the remains of a second shaded polychrome eland and a human figure. At the bottom left are two bowmen in action and part of the body of an animal.

              Among the last few paint remains in the shelter, a running bushbuck is superimposed on a shaded polychrome eland. Fragments of human figures are recognisable near the bottom.
