摘要
Depictions of wounded or dying eland, juxtaposed with images of human or therian/thropic figures 'dying'in trance or symbolically 'wounded'. are discussed in the context of 'sympathetic control' expressed in southern African rock art. It is suggested that the development of concepts of control included the use of skin costumes in hunting contexts and in ritual, linked to concepts associated with trance.
