Viriamo
Viriamo, c.1919
- ... that Viriamo's (pictured) traditional Rapa Nui tattoos included motifs similar to an adze and a paddle?
- Source: Adze: "Like Eva (and Uaritaï), she has a tattoo on her cheek in a geometric, adze-like motif and parallel stripes crossing her forehead, below which are dots. She also has “elaborate designs on her body” (Métraux 1940, 240). These match those sketched on shipboard by J. Linton Palmer in 1853 and depicted by Julien Viaud on the “chefesse.” [download] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362024307_The_Iconic_Tattooed_Man_of_Easter_Island/link/65cbde8e34bbff5ba70efc69/download?_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7InBhZ2UiOiJwdWJsaWNhdGlvbiIsInByZXZpb3VzUGFnZSI6bnVsbH19
Paddle: "On the back of old Viriamo, between the shoulder blades, is a motif called ao (“dance paddle”) with conventionalized eyes and nose." https://www.larskrutak.com/sacred-skin-easter-island-ink/
