              A group of Vaal rhebok (Rhebucks) painted in black, which is an unusual colour for the depiction of this animal.

              A rapidly moving figure from RSA JUN1. The depiction of movement was one of the outstanding accomplishments of the Bushmen.

              An isolated and enigmatic animal. It is not unusual to find animals as though approaching a crack in the rock surface where they may disappear or, alternatively, emerge from such a crack.

              Painted high up on the wall are two shaded polychrome eland in deep maroon and white. One is depicted in a browsing attitude; the other one appears to be grazing.

              The scenes from RSA JUN1 are many and varied. This particular colourful scene is very faint in the original but here you see it very much as it must have been seen by those who were contemporary with the painter.

              The scene demonstrates the sophisticated nature of the painting techniques and the way of life depicted by the artist. Many of the figures in this painting have elaborate body paint and decoration with ostrich eggshell beads. The facial stripes are typical of a custom spread throughout the country but whether the stripes represent paint or scarification is still open to question.

              The flying creature (flying creatures) toward the bottom of the paintings may represent either the spirit of a dead bushman or the concept of aerial travel by the spirit of a medicine man (i.e. Shaman) in trance.

              There is a particularly delightful painting of a bird doing a nosedive with a long thin line, beautifully drawn, indicating its direction of travel.

              Birds and flying creatures.

              A red man with animal ears at the centre top. A little further down are two yellow men superimposed by a white man and a small white buck. A second white buck of similar style follows the first one.

              A large man in a kaross stands at the bottom left. He wears animal ears on his headdress; multiple head strings around his neck and some more beads below his knees. The two bichrome men at the far right wear beads and penis decorations.

              A thin, white man is depicted between them. In the centre stands a crudely painted animal and four bichrome antelope in various sizes. A monochrome white bushbuck is painted at the bottom right. In the centre of the panel and above the horizontal crack are rows of oval dots. Karosses.

              At the left, a monochrome hartebeest overlies a bichrome man with animal ears, arms and leg rings, a stick, quiver and arrows. An unusually rounded eland was fitted into the pointed end of a small panel. It is joined by a faint, serpent-like line. At the centre right is a group of monochrome humans, three of them recognisable as women. There are a few other human figures on this panel, and in the centre, two small eland.

              It is rare to find a depiction of an eland as small as this and still rarer to find a monochrome rendering. Most of the eland paintings are relatively large and nearly all are executed in two or more colours. Quivers, bows and arrows.

              This monochrome figure is the only one that was found painted on the crumbling surface of a strata of red mudstone.
