This beautifully graphic tattoo design is taken from and archeological artifact, a plate made by the native tribes who lived on islands in the mouth of the Amazon. It predated Western contact but was from a region where European and New England contact were to have an impact. The shapes appear somewhat related to mesoamerican art in aesthetic, but with their own geometry and line styles.
