Pronks Kraal I 100

• Van Zyls Kraal

Brief description of art: Site can be reached by a very rough track that leads to the top of the mountain (approximately an hour's walk). These are two sites opposite each other near the head of the valley. Site 1 consists of 4 panels. Panel 1 is very faded and contains the remains of 3 animals and figures in red and white.

Panel 2 is fairly preserved and densely painted. The top of the panel contains 3 figures with white faces, carrying sticks and bows and arrows. A faded white figure depicted just to the right of these figures. Field notes are unclear but another running figure to the right of this figure may be present. Other depictions include 1 reclining antelope, 4 quagga (one of which is shaded polychrome), numerous antelope including 1 upside down depiction, 1 bag, a 2 hippos, one of with a calf.

Panel 3 is fairly well preserved and contains a number of interesting depictions, including a human, a fish, an antelope and upside down antelope. Other images include cattle, 1 quagga, 2 running antelope (possibly springbok), and a hartebeest surrounded by small white figures, one in arms back position, and a white line. Possible depictions of white birds as well. Two large therianthropes with 11 faded white figures superimposed on top of the therianthropes. To the right of the therianthrope is a faded white figure, which is squatting and holding a stick in either hand. Below this figure is an antelope facing the viewer and an elongated figure superimposed on a reclining eland. To the right of these figures is a serpent-like creature.

Panel 4 is around the corner from panel 3. Content includes rear view of an eland with its head facing left. There is a densely painted area with many antelopes and some humans visible, although the area is not clear. Higher up on the same panel are 2 eland that appear to be charging at each other.

Attenuation (elongated figures) and therianthropes.
