Pronks Kraal II 100

• Van Zyls Kraal

Brief description of art: Site is opposite RSA-PRO1, about 5 meters downstream, in a small, low shelter. Site is approximately 4.84 meters in length and 1.27 meters high. Site consists of 1 large panel only. The panel contains approximately 9 bichrome eland (yellow and white), a row of figures in red underneath the eland on the extreme left. There are also figures painted underneath the eland just right of the extreme left eland. One of the eland is in a reclining position with its head raised and turned as though looking down the length of its back towards its tail.

The panel is remarkable for a trance scene painted in a shallow hollow in the rock. The scene consists of about 10 white figures in dancing postures. Three figures are in a supine position and are superimposed on a creature with a white spine that has red fish painted along it. Red fish are also depicted below the creature. Below these fish there are 7 human figures. One is bleeding from the nose, 1 figure that has spiky hair and a stick is bending forward and has his harms forward, another figure has body decoration, and 3 figures are sitting. The circular composition of this trance scene creates a circular movement of the eyes. To the left of the trance scene is a figure with widespread arms that have feathers attached to them.
