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 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.
Who knows?.
We painted the “white stick heads”, because that was how the original pictograph looked like. And as we were painting, we saw, that the image came to life because of that.
