Comments
|
This panel is on a vertical rock wall. The art is not well preserved. The overhang has a flat dirt floor, making it suitable for habitation. The figure in the centre of the panel is approximately 40cm long. |
| Interpretation | This panel comprises two partially preserved brick-red coloured figures, overprinting horizontal, brick red lines. There is insufficient detail preserved of the figure on the left hand side of the panel for an interpretation. The figure in the centre of the panel is in plan view. The figure's torso, legs, left arm and head are distinguishable. The head is difficult to interpret. There appears to be a headdress. There are no other body decorations distinguishable. Five spears are to the right of the figure. Three of the spears have barbs. It is not clear if these spears are associated with the figure. The colour of the figure and the way the paint has stained the rock, indicates it is a Bradshaw. |
