The Brandberg in Namibia overlooks two entirely different landscapes: while in the South the barren lands of the Namib Desert characterize its hinterland, its northern side is close to the river oasis of the Ugab Rivier with its surrounding savannah where even elephants encounter the Brandberg. Umuab and Karoab are the two principal gorges on this northern side of the mountain. The early explorers of this region considered the area to be particularly wild and almost void of rock art. However the thorough research of Harald Pager in these gorges revealed them both to be affluent rock art areas. In fact two of the richest rock art sites in Namibia are found here, both exhibiting more than 1,000 figures including two lifesize human figures, true giants of rock art.

This volume 2 of the Umuab and Karoab Gorge rock paintings contains the catalogue, with some explanatory illustrations, and ten large fold-out plates, five of which are 96 × 132cm, and the other five are 66 × 96cm.

Condition
