patterns representing or imitating external reality or the objects
of nature. emotions--happiness or sorrow. Birds, snakes, dragons,
and other mythological animals as guardians. Trees of lives
illustrating their family members. Herbs, flowers and leaves,
signifying health and prosperity. Four equally divided crosses that
represent four direction of the world, four seasons of the year,
four stages of man, the four weeks of the full cycle of the moon,
four basic elements that the world made of i.e.. Earth, wind, water
and fire, or any significant object. Important events are marked by
dates, names and or initials; a wedding, birth of a child, a death
or any other celebration of an event that marked an important time
in their lives.

utilitarian art forms of objects are created for daily use and
ornament, their artistic expressions reflect the very inner emotions
