Hollefontein II 38

Brief description of site: This site is located 40 m below the 1445 m summit of the ridge-backed hill immediately to the WNW of RSA HLF1, on the southern and steepest side. The site consists of a small - medium collection of dark black dolerite boulder blocks with an excellent view to the south.

There are no visible associated artefacts. There is a collection of Historic Period rock-engravings in at least two related episodes on flat, horizontal and adjacent boulder.
Brief description of art: Episode 1: This is the more carefully and deeply engraved imagery. There is a horse bridled in the 'swan-necked' manner that was often used by the British. There is a curious human figure with what looks to be an animal head and holding a club-like object. There are also human figures fighting and what may be a dog is also depicted. A deeply engraved arrow is also present. One human figure is depicted firing a rifle.

Episode 2: These images are engraved in a scratched outline technique. This episode relates to Episode 1 as each deeply engraved human figure is apparently fighting against a scratched outline human figure. There are also two bridled horses depicted. 2 scratched outline human figures oppose each other in a fighting posture. A scratched outline animal is engraved near the deeply engraved animal-headed human figure.
