Spirit figure, drawn in ochre in Mimi style on a rock shelter roof

Spirit figure, drawn in ochre in Mimi style on a rock shelter roofprobably from the Estuarine period, 7000-9000 years ago. It represents one of the Mamandi or bad spirits haunting the region: a fisherman who sometimes catches human spirits, killing his victims. He trails a line on which hangs a catch of four 'real' fish. The figure is over 2 m long Ubirr (Obiri Rock), Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia. (Photo by Auscape/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
