Rock paintings and ancestor veneration. The San tribe’s rock paintings of the 1800s served a common theme of representing humans and animals. In their era of agriculture and domesticated animals, these paintings depicted scenes of livestock raids and hunted or spiritual animals. In one example, humans are seen leading animals, a ritual for rainmaking as a way of subverting the government. Along with spiritual forms of art, many late-African arts practiced ancestral worship. Sculptures were ornate with luxurious clothing or weapons and symbolism for power such as double-headed snakes, elephant tusks, or warriors. Embellished stools or chairs served to elevate the ancestor or leader, and the use of a hierarchy of scale mitigated the size of females, servants, or surrounding people to venerate the ancestor.
