Batwa rock art at Rockland's farm near Chipata. The designs here are made with a red/brown pigment painted onto the rocks. The design in the middle is made from a squat rectangle with a pattern of horizontal lines, with two vertical designs, the one on the right curving over the one on the left. Both are again filled with lines, following their curves. Further to the left there are lines of dots leading up to the vertical design, however the shadow makes it unclear. There are three more designs visible, two are once again boxes filled with horizontal lines, the bottom right one being very short and wide, and the top one being more square. The design on the top left appears to be an array of dots with two short vertical lines above them however again the shadows make it hard to see. [FG 10/04/25]
