              Of interest in this panel are the three sets of crossing lines and the tiny monochrome buck lying on its back.

              These delicately painted figures from RSA JUN1 and are typical of the use of white paint, which probably came late in the sequence of styles.

              Due to layers of shale at RSA JUN1, the rock walls did not provide a good 'canvas' for paintings. There are, nevertheless, many paintings at this site, but a large number of them are scattered. This bichrome eland is typical of this isolation of certain individual paintings.

              These paintings are painted in a large fallen rock and perfectly illustrate the Bushmen sense of movement in their paintings. There is a very interesting flying creature (flying creatures) or ales towards the right together with three tall 'Antelope men' with elaborate fringing to their garments. One carries a flywhisk (flywhisks). Attenuated figures (elongated figures)

              On the left hand side of the panel, the big hunt is on. Men with clubs chase a huge troop of baboons, catching and killing some of them. Three of the humans have grotesquely elongated legs and one of the baboons is depicted unusually large. The whole hunting scene is painted in black, but a few red figures, which do not belong to this composition, were painted on the same rock face.

              To the right of this scene are a few more figures belonging to the baboon hunt. At the centre bottom, a bag, two digging sticks and four other human figures are painted in black. One of these human figures is a woman wearing a black apron and holding a digging stick. At the top right are six human figures depicted in red.

              Aprons and digging sticks.

              A red, monochrome baboon (baboons), painted well above the panel depicted in Pager 89.
              P88 pager F280.

              Baboons are painted and engraved more frequently than jackals, and they also feature more frequently in Bushman myth and folklore. The /Xam believed that, like the lion, the baboon had similar powers to those of shamans. It was supposed to draw these powers from a small stick of a plant, which it kept in its left cheek. Some depictions of baboons show a whole troop with males, females and babies. There are also therianthropic baboons which express the closeness of baboons to people and, more important, the association between baboons and shamans.               RARI

              A variety of animals and human figures. The four cloaked figures are part of the 'great procession' illustrated elsewhere. In the top left hand corner, the eland bull painted with a white outline is unusual for this geographical area.

              There are three exceptionally tiny figures on the body of the shaded eland. The yellow and orange colours tend to mark the later painting styles.

              A man wearing an apron and carrying a bow across his shoulders is the only figure painted in RSA SIT1. Aprons.
