[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 127970, member: 45"]Sand paintings like this are all made for sale, primarily for the tourist market. Some are based loosely on images from the real sand paintings done for ceremonies. Those, however, are made right on the ground, and destroyed as part of the ceremony. Some of the "legends" on the back of these have a basis in truth, others I've seen are just examples of what the artist thinks the buyer wants to hear, and what will help the sale.
