content: FROM LOGBOOK: 3 FIBERGLASS ROCK ART REPLICAS. Exhibit props presumably made to be used in National Museum of Natural History exhibit Hall 7, Case 28, so dating to circa 1964/1965. Exhibit book attributes all 3 of the original rock paintings these are copies of to Bushman people. The two largest models are taken from originals in the Matopo/Matobo Hills, Zimbabwe. The smallest one is from the Southern Drakensberg Mountain Range, South Africa. Largest replica depicts non-Bushman people who migrated into the area between 1st and 16th centuries AD. Next largest replica depicts Bushman hunters. Smallest replica depicts a soldier shooting an eland; soldier is wearing red-striped trousers and his hat lies on the ground.
