This study presents the principles of composition of these patterns, the mnemotechnical meaning of their names, and the ways they are utilized to create new paintings and make social relationships visible. This repertoire is then compared to those of other Amazonian cultures in order to show evidence for the existence of a homogenous category distinct from that joining together the figurations. |
