EDITORS COMMENTS
This rock painting, estimated to date back to the 1910s, was discovered near Hermon in present-day Lesotho, Southern Africa. The image, created by the San Bushmen, depicts an intriguing scene of a hunting expedition and a potential conflict between two rival tribes. The central focus of the painting is a herd of oxen, which the San Bushmen hunted for food and other resources. The oxen were likely domesticated by one of the tribes, making their capture a significant prize and potential source of conflict. The painting shows several San Bushmen, armed with spears, in the act of attacking the oxen herd. The intense expression on their faces and the determined posture of their bodies suggest the urgency and intensity of the hunt. The contrasting colors and bold lines bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness this momentous event. The San Bushmen, also known as the Southern Bushmen, are an indigenous people of Southern Africa, renowned for their exceptional rock art. Their art is characterized by its vivid colors, intricate details, and deep symbolism, reflecting their rich cultural heritage and connection to the land. This painting is a testament to their artistic prowess and their deep understanding of the natural world. The painting also provides valuable insights into the social structure and dynamics of the San Bushmen society during that time. The presence of two rival tribes, depicted in the painting, suggests a complex social fabric, with competing interests and alliances. The painting thus offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of the San Bushmen and the Southern African region as a whole.
