EDITORS COMMENTS
This rock painting, believed to have been created by the San Bushmen around the 1910s, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Southern Africa. The painting was discovered at Thaba Bosiu, a significant historical site now located in Lesotho. The intricate artwork depicts a group of San Bushmen archers in the midst of a hunt, their focused expressions and determined postures conveying the intensity of the moment. Each archer is shown with a bow and quiver of arrows, their shields and spears at the ready. The stunning scenery of the location is captured in an inset view, with rolling hills and lush vegetation providing a beautiful backdrop to the scene. The San Bushmen, also known as the Basarwa or the First People of Southern Africa, were renowned for their exceptional skills in archery and hunting. This painting offers a unique glimpse into their way of life and their deep connection to the land. The San Bushmen inhabited various regions across Southern Africa, including present-day Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. They were a highly mobile people, living in small groups and subsisting primarily on hunting and gathering. Their art, which includes rock paintings, engravings, and sculptures, is considered some of the oldest and most significant in Africa. Thaba Bosiu, which means "Mountain at Night," is an important historical site in Lesotho, with a rich cultural and political history. The site is home to several significant rock paintings, including this one, and was the site of the first Basotho kingdom, founded by Moshoeshoe I in 1822. The painting is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day.
