Das Neves Cross
A Portuguese Cross carved into an old Leadwood tree. Of uncertain provenance, it is thought to have been made by Diocleciano Fernandes das Neves who traded and hunted in the interior during the 1850s and 60s. Das Neves’ did not travel light. He was accompanied by over 200 porters and 20 heavily armed elephant hunters. The cross may also be associated with one of Joao Albasini’s Portuguese mail runners.
