Anotations

Scope note:

The Wanjina style is considered one of the most ancient recorded rock art styles. These works in this style are found in the north-central Kimberleys region of Australia in isolated locations. Wanjina style rock paintings depict round-headed human figures outlined with red ochre, specifically around the head. The figures typically have prominently defined eyes and noses, but lack a mouth. Wanjina style figures vary in size between less than forty centimeters to more than three meters in length. This style also depicted animal figures.
