Brief description of site: The site is E-facing and on the other side of the Elephant Head Koppie about 200 m up the slope. The paintings are at the foot of dramatic, 30-50 m cliffs. Paintings are on two rock facets, one S-facing and fairly well preserved. The other facet faces east and the paintings are blasted by the sun.
Brief description of art: A detailed description of south-facing panel is as follows: One large antelope (kudu), stencil-style, in red, with a pronounced camel-like hump. To the right there is a springbok that faces left. To its right is a large, faint-red elephant about 50 cm in length. Two strange anthropomorphic figures, perhaps lying prostrate with legs and arms splayed. Further to the right is a grouping of about 12 canids, one howling? Two running to the left with tails outstretched. Their muzzles are long but quite rectangular-shaped, not tapered as with jackals. Somebody suggested that some of these canids looked like hyenas. Then there is another rock facet about 3 m lower down and to the south. The remains of seven anthropomorphs - 5 pairs of legs and faint heads and then about 75 cm to the right, a head and torso, with what looks like 2 arrows poking out at the right. The seventh figure is to the left of the group of five. It is very faint
