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.
