Description
[OS - two joined halves] A battle of some form between figures bearing shields and smaller figures bearing bows and arrows. Twenty-two figures. Most of the figures bear weaponry, some lie dead or wounded on the ground (blood is depicted emerging from their bodies). The larger figures bear knobkerries, sticks, patterned shields and spears. The smaller figures to the right of the painting bear bows and arrows and wear quivers. There are three whole animals resembling antelope or bovids in the far right corner of the painting, as well as three disembodied heads of the same animals. There are spears and arrows depicted flying about. "From great cave in outlying ridge Brakfontein[?] Koesberg O.F.S"
