Making Ochre at Blombos

This mural was the first in the Harmonie Park area of Melkhoutfontein. It proudly adorns the home of Sanna and family and was painted in 2018. It depicts the rituals of making ochre for body paint in the cave at Blombos, some 15 miles from Melkhoutfontein.  More about the Bruce Rimell design can be found here.
