Description : Five figures of mixed description, one wearing a white cloak or kaross. Two others appear to be capped in white (one has ears) and three have red faces; three hold weapons (sticks, bows and arrows). A dead antelope lies upside-down with blood on its chest and belly as well as emerging from the tip of its tail. A round swirling pattern has been painted at its head and hind legs and also next to the cloaked figure. From Precipitous (illegible) near Beersheba discovered by [illegible] Charles Sir [?] Orpen Copied by G.W.S."
Verso : "128"
Description in published source : p. 35: "3. Glen near Beersheba, Caledon River, Smithfield, O.F.S. 1/5 lin." "The same folk as in plate 2 [no. 117]. The colours are also the same and the animal has red wounds painted on him. The white-turbaned figures have reddened faces, and the kaross or robe has been cut so that the animal tails are pleasantly grouped. The brown hat-like signs are probably later, we have no idea as to their meaning." (Goodwin)
