Reprint of Harold Pager's meticulous copy of San painted rock art in Sebaaieni Cave, Ndedema Gorge, Drakensberg, South Africa.

In the 1960s Pager repainted images on life size black and white photographs of the shelters of the Ndedema Gorge.

The human figures have karosses on their backs, quivers, bows and arrows, but if you look closely the human figures have antelope heads. Based on San mythology, the anthropomorphic figures are interpreted as mythological beings of Shaman (medicine men) who are entering the spirit world in animal form.
