The image was originally Created in Tassili n’Ajjer plateau, south-eastern Algeria, which borders Libya, Niger, and Mali. The pannel covers an area of roughly 72,000 sq. km. and contains one of the most important collections of prehistoric rock art in the world; it was inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1982.
The style is estimated somewhere between ‘Pastoral Period’ and possibly later ‘Horse and Libyan-Warrior Period’, which puts this painting roughly to 3500BC to 2500BC. The official story according to David Coulsen, Executive Chairman of TARA – Trust for African Rock Art, states:
“The image represents women with long flowing dresses (right) and two young warriors. These figures originally would have had white ‘stick’ heads, which have now disappeared.”
However, Spanish authorities in 1976 concluded, that the image represents four women taken to some kind of craft.
We painted the “stick heads”, because that is was how the original pictographs looked like. This actually makes the image came to life.
