The different style of depicting human figures and extensive use of white paint make this rock art different from anything to be encountered in Mashonaland or Matabeleland. The most unusual feature of the shelter is a red and white painted line that emerges from a natural fissure and crosses the entire frieze ending near five eland. Below the line is a large design of concentric circles in red, plus kudu images. Breuil was most interested in the human figures and saw in them proof of the arrival of an intrusive foreign culture, different from local people who were generally responsible for the more orthodox painting styles. Some of these figures have their bodies painted in white, while the hair and other details are in red.
