Batwa rock paintings at Sezamanja farm in Chadiza. The paintings in this image are much fainter and worn away, but at least six designs can be made out. The five designs at the top of the image are all circular designs, while the bottom on is much more oblong. The bottom design seems to be a very oblong oval with a horizontal line down the middle, however detail is hard to make out. The five circular designs are comprised of two large circles, two smaller circles above and to the side of each, and one more smaller circle behind one of the large ones. The larger circles are made of two concentric circles, with many short radial lines connecting them and a pattern in the middle. The three other smaller patterns seem to be only made of one circle. Due to weathering it is difficult to tell whether the larger circle was painted over the smaller one, or if they were made at the same time. [FG 10/04/25]
