[O.S.] Twenty-nine figures of mixed description. Those at the bottom left are in a circular, seated or crouching formation and five wear karosses or cloaks and some wear headdresses; one has an outstretched leg. There are six antelope; the one in the top left hand position bears multiple markings and has feather-like shapes adhering to/emerging from it. The figures are all engaged in activities: the top central three lean forward and have breasts and spots on their bodies. The central group stand and most have one leg raised as if hopping; they brandish thongs or sticks and are of mixed description. The far bottom right group carry bows and arrows, and the group to the left of them (one of which appears female) are arranged around. a long stick and two of the figures in the group sit back to back. Some of these figures hold long and short stick-like objects. "Rocks at Danster's Vontein Eckron's[?] near the Stormberg, 22nd May 1868. G.W.S"
