              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.

              The remains of these paintings are even more difficult to discern in-situ. At the right are a few fragmentary remains of human figures and in the centre, a crouching human-like figure with short stipples on its body. There are also 42 bees, the last of a swarm of 479 red and white coloured bees, which are spread out on the wall of the recess in Poacher's Shelter.

              The remains of an eland are at the top and another animal of similar size next to it. A small buck can be seen near the edge.

              There is a gracefully painted buck in the centre at the bottom. Little has remained of the other figures in this portion of rock but a few human figures, sets of bows, and two minute antelope on the right as well as a small animal that might be a dassie are still visible.

              Another point of interest is the small monochrome buck depicted with its legs in front view, head in side view and body in top view.

              Due to water seepage in the rainy season, some parts of the rock are exfoliating in finger thick layers, and the growth of algae gives many of the paintings peculiarly dark edges. On this part of the rock, some large figures have been reduced to irregularly shaped fragments.

              Recognisable as to subject matter are only one small white buck at the bottom left and two human figures in the left bottom and top right corner.

              This shows the rock faces on both sides of a sharp corner. There are a few bees and the remains of three bucks and an eland on the right and a human figure on the left.

              In rock art, one sees depictions of nested U-shapes with bees. Bushman shamans interpreted this particular shape as a honeycomb because bees are a Bushman symbol of potency. In the Kalahari, Bushmen dance when bees are swarming because they believe that they can harness their potency for a particularly effective dance.               RARI
