   Beautiful art that tells important stories, the history of the Indigenous. Good to see such art preserved after all these years 🙂

      The world would be a poorer place if we neglect and forget our history and heritage!

   Immediate thought: Oh, how beautifully Art Deco these appear… but they’re not! Thank you!

   I learn so much from your blog. This art is outstanding!
   (We were away from home for a month, I’m slowly catching up. Looking forward to coming back to see what you’ve been up to!)

      We’re so glad to have you back Jane, and hope that your sabbatical away from the blogging world was for happy reasons?

   Fascinating Dries; I have always been interested in San art and history So far I only managed to visit Bambata in Matobo but I guess the Drakensbergen are another prime spot for them – another item on the bucket list!

      The Drakensberg camps at Giant’s Castle, Didima and Kamberg all have fascinating informative displays and actual rock art to appreciate Maurice, and you can easily add a couple of nights to your itinerary at these destinations prior to or after your visit to Golden Gate 😉

   Dis baie interessante sketse..lyk nie soos dié wat mens gewoonlik sien nie,veral die twee met die vet figure.Dis werklik besonderse kunstige sketse en dit lyk goed bewaar.

      Die tekeninge is besonder goed bewaar, Dina, hoewel daar heelwat skade gedoen is deur Britse soldate lank voor die reservaat proklameer is. Nogtans uit-en-uit n besoek werd!

         Tog vreemd dat mense altyd op goed wil skryf..in Botswana is elke kremetart omtrent bekrap met een of ander gek se naam!

         Ek kan dit ook regtig nie kleinkry nie. In hierdie geval het die dwase die tekeninge met hul bajonette probeer afkrap en selfs daarop geskiet!

         Ai tog!
