[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4458603, member: 45"]I agree, great molas! I've found, in Navajo rugs, some Indian baskets, and, to a lesser degree, in Native American Indian baskets, that often non-literate craftspeople use letters or numbers just for their form and imagery, that they often have no meaning other than that they are attractive shapes from another culture. Exposure to some English language packaging that contains those images leads to them being used on traditional crafts. It's actually a category of unusual usage that I personally "collect"![/QUOTE]
