The image shows an informational sign at the Kunduchi Rock Art site in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (coordinates: -6.814, 39.294). The sign is made of a white, rectangular board and features a brown frame and text in English. The sign is attached to a wall. The top of the sign has the title "Late White Art," followed by "C. 1,500 yrs ago to recent past." Below the title is a depiction of a rock painting of a giraffe. Below the image is a section of text, which explains the history of the "Late White Art," which are rock paintings created using white pigment. The text states that these paintings began roughly 1,500 years ago and continued up until the 1990s, when the practice ceased. The text explains the origins of these paintings as being a cultural adoption from Bantu-speaking farmers who migrated from Central Africa to the area. The text explains that these paintings are often used to symbolize "secret rites" and "initiations" as well as to represent "proper behavior" and "consequences of wrong-doing." The sign also contains a map of the African continent that shows various locations where rock paintings have been discovered. The bottom right of the sign has an informational plaque with the title "Welcome to the Kunduchi Rock Art site," which provides details about the site and its history. The bottom left corner of the sign is partially obscured, but the text appears to contain an explanation of a rock painting that depicts a handprint.
