Brief description of art: The art is dominated by a large 350mm long ochre, red and black lioness with jaws open, pendulous belly and exaggerated tail; incidentally very similar to one painted at nearby Blue Bend.
There are traces of what may have been an earlier painting of a lion; though this is probably a fortuitous pigment smear. In front of and around this lioness are 37 or 38 human figures and 'flying buck', most of which have lines emanating from their heads.
The dominant colour is red, with white, black and occasional ochre used for details such as hooves, horns, body decoration and so forth.
Several of the figures have red lines painted at their noses or mouths. Some of the human figures bend forward at the waist and some hold their arms behind their backs. There do not appear to be any other paintings in the cave nearby.
