Description in published source : "PLATE 2B LOCALITY.- See PLATE 3 [no.28]. SITE, See PLATE 3 [no.28] DESCRIPTION.- This group is low down in the cave on a separate slab of rock. It is now very faded. The elephant is nearer the men than shown, his front legs are just superimposed on the heads of two of them. There are more men of the same kind behind the elephant. A couple of bucks in black are superimposed on the elephant. The group of men must therefore be an old painting, having two layers on top of it. The red paint seems to have been added later. EXPLANATION.- Stow wrote, 'Elephant-Mystic dance-Bushmen, with disguised head-dresses.' Dimensions: 15 x 24 3/4 inches.
