              A human figure with a battle-axe as used by the blacks is running after an animal. Too much of the painting has broken off to be able to identify what type of an animal it might have been. Axes. P26 pager F137. Sibayeni Cave I

              This weathered top of a large fallen rock contains a scene with Vaal rhebok. There are also three human figures and a feline depicted and in the bottom right hand corner there is a small arrow. Of interest are the four strokes, which point towards the lower most bucks. One of these looks as though it is a stick by the figure in front of the buck.

              Arrows and felines.

              This scene is extremely faint in the original making copy work a slow and laborious procedure. Digging Sticks.
              P22 pager F131.

              The most distinctive item of women’s equipment is the digging stick. Sometimes these were weighted with bored stones. A hole was laboriously bored through a stone, and they were fixed onto the stick with wooden wedges. They made digging in hard ground easier.Bored stones are not used in the Kalahari, where suitable stones are rare and the sand is comparatively soft.

              Examples vary greatly in size and have been found all over Southern Africa. Bushman beliefs suggest that digging sticks had a special significance beyond everyday use. It is believed that when a /Xam woman wished to communicate with the shamans of the game, and possibly dead shamans, she would beat upon the ground with a bored stone from her digging stick. Therefore, digging sticks were used to contact the supernatural world, which is the main purpose of the trance dance.               Sibayeni Cave I

              This slab of sandstone has broken away from the rock face. It features two antelopes, a small animal, six human figures and an ovoid shape, all of which are were disappointingly faint. Other pieces of loose rock were found in various places in the shelter so it was impossible to establish exactly where it had fallen from.
