The artwork's red pigment and geometric style match the distribution of the Late Stone Age hunter-gatherer culture across eastern, central, and southern Africa. The art is attributed to the Batwa (Twa) / Pygmy hunter-gatherers, who are thought to have moved away due to the arrival of present-day Nilotic, Luo, and Bantu inhabitants.
