A beautiful 1987 FDC on my favourite sub-theme of rock art, thank you Richard! Much of the rock art from this area can be related to San Bushmen ethnography.
16c - Valued for meat as well as a central figure in creation myths, the Eland is depicted in many forms in many locations.
20c - This Leaping Lion motif is thought to represent medicine men who take this form through trance.
25c - Paint brushes were made from the Black Wildebeest tail hairs.
30c - Paintings like this 'Bushman Dance' are thought to be show trance dances with the horizontal individuals having achieved the trance state.
