Description
San people Rock art painting of an Eland. Digital oil painting.
The San, or Bushmen, are indigenous people in Southern Africa. Their ancient rock paintings and carvings are found in caves and on rock shelters. The artwork depicts non-human beings, hunters, and half-human half-animal hybrids. The half-human hybrids are believed to be medicine men or healers involved in a healing dance.
there are many caves and rock shelters in the land where the San lived. Many of these caves have rock paintings. The Drakensberg region has between 35000 and 40000 works of San rock art. Some 20,000 individual rock paintings have been recorded at 500 different caves and overhanging sites between the Drakensberg Royal Natal National Park and Bushman's Nek. The materials used in their production, these paintings are difficult to date but there is anthropological evidence, including many hunting implements, suggest that the San people existed in the Drakensberg at least 40,000 years ago, and possibly over 100,000 years ago. However, the paintings seem to be more recent, less than 5000 years old, although datation of African paintings is uncertain and might be widely inaccurate. The Drakensberg is the largest and most concentrated group of rock paintings in Africa south of the Sahara, and is outstanding both in quality and diversity of subject
