Ist Series : Schematic figures only, divided into early and late. The paintings of the early first series are conventionalised human and animal figures in red and cream colours. They show square-shaped bodies with triangular heads, the bust being filled by zig-zag or wavy lines, probably representing some kind of bark garment. [Fig. 1]. These paintings are superimposed by other figures and are scarce.
