History
Brief description of site: The site is on a small boulder that rests at about a 30° angle on a large granite slab that forms the base. The site consists of two panels, on two sides of the boulder. Panel A is well sheltered from sunshine and measures 8m long and 3.70m wide and 2.15m high. Panel B is difficult to access. Only the nimble footed can get to it. Panel A overlooks lake Bisinia to the east.
Brief description of art: The motifs appear finger painted in bright red monochrome, thick paste. It is possible that the motifs covered eighty percent of the panel surface, but they have now flaked off. The traces comprise of a rayed concentric circle of creamish red and bright red interspersed. Other motifs in red are indeterminate parts of what were probably concentric circles or other geometric motifs. The changes in colour may be due to a reaction between minerals and the pigment where the original colours were red and white.
