Stuk RARI-UGA-MUB2-1.jpg - RARI UGA MUB2 1

Brief description of site: The site is on a large boulder approximately 16m wide, 8m deep and 8m high. The boulder rests against a large flat granite rock. The shelter looks out to an open area and is enclosed at one side by a large granite hill, and on the other side it opens out to the village. The shelter is nicely shaded and well concealed by thorny bushy ledge al around site.
Brief description of art: The red images to the left of the shelter can be seen as one approaches the shelter. White paintings are recognized when one is in the shelter. The images are probably finger painted and are in red monochrome, and red and white bichrome. It is highly probable that the images were all in bichrome, but most of the painted surface has faded or flaked leaving a few traces of colour. From left to right, there is a spectacular red group of motifs consisting of three concentric circles with a line running from them. Next to these images there are four diagonal line shapes with short slightly horizontal lines in between two pairs of lines. Above these lines and circles there are dashes of vertical lines. Further right is half a concentric circle in red, partly lost in the wash. Further right, there are whitish pink lines in the center of the panel, and extreme right there are rectangular shapes in red and white lines that appear to merge with concentric red and white circles below them.
