This striking 16-cent stamp from the Republic of South Africa (RSA), issued in 1987, showcases ancient San (Bushman) rock art depicting the eland, a sacred antelope revered in their culture. The vivid ochre and earth tones capture scenes of hunters and animals, symbolizing spiritual connection and survival. Designed by Hein Botha, this issue is part of the Rock Art series that celebrates southern Africa’s prehistoric artistic heritage. It offers collectors a glimpse into the continent’s oldest artistic traditions, preserved in cave paintings across the Drakensberg Mountains and other sites.
