              Rhebuck (reedbuck).

              Rhebuck is one of the antelope that are most frequently depicted, after the eland. The rhebuck is comparable to the eland because it is often painted in shaded polychrome. Both eland and rhebuck are depicted in two colours, mainly red and white, even though they are more grey than red. Depictions of men with rhebuck heads are shamans. It is known that shamans with rhebuck heads controlled eland and harnessed their power to enter trance and to perform their various tasks, including rain-making.               Modderpoort I 34

              Birds.

              Birds are commonly depicted in rock art. Some of the depictions of birds are shown swooping down on animals or standing next to dead antelope. In San mythology, flight is a wide spread metaphor for trance experience due to the sensations of rising up and floating that are part of some altered states of consciousness produced by the universal human nervous system.

              XXXV. Cattle.

              Depictions of cattle in rock art are common in some regions. Often they are accompanied by Iron Age people carrying broad-bladed iron spears, shields and knobkerries.               Modderpoort I 34
