      Dates of existence

      History

      Brief description of site: A section of protected surface near the north end of the same rock-face as MAL-MUP1. Rather better protected than MAL-MUP1 with more shade but again very limited shelter. View rather hidden by trees but otherwise similar to MAL-MUP1.
      Brief description of art: A vertical sausage shape with single internal vertical division and a set of parallel diagonal lines, applied by finger in red. Over sausage shape have been painted a series of white dots a head and two arms (in my opinion this is a later attempt to make motif resemble nyau - makanja). Beside this is a small human design (resembling a nyau face-mask character). All this is overlain by 2 outline charcoal zoomorphs (nyau-kasiyamaliro & chimkoko). Also square white zoomorph in white (similar to some at DE123) (probably nyau) overlain by filled black humped charcoal motif (nyau - chimkoko ? with unusually tall central hump). Another similar design executed in filled white and recently outlined in charcoal (nyau - chimkoko). 2 quadruped designs in filled white. 2
      outline charcoal zoomorphs with no legs (nyau - kasiyamaliro).
