This panel is breathtaking in its clarity. It depicts one of the most puzzling features of rock art, called super-positioning, where one depiction appears on top of the other. Here eland, many of them shaded polychromes, have been superimposed over elongated kaross-clad figures with hoofs. Above these is a row of running figures with bows and infibulated penises.
