- Namibia. c. 25,500-25,300 BCE. Charcoal on Stone.
- South west coast of Africa
- Homo sapians, anatomically modern humans who evolved from an earlier species of hominids
- Unidentified animal form draw resembling a feline in appearance but with human hind legs that were probably added later
- Possibly a therianthrope, part human and part animal
- May suggest a complex system of shamanistic belief
- A site of ritual significance used by many over thousands of years
- Stone offers evidence that Homo sapiens in the Middle Stone Ages were not anatomically modern, but behaviorally modern too
- These early humans possessed the new and unique capacity for modern symbolic thought long before what was previously understood.
- Art mobilier, small scale prehistoric art that is moveable, not unique to Africa
