Description:
The border and the lines running through the work are known as orriseegé or ‘pathways’ and provide a compositional framework for the designs.

The chequered/crosshatch design is tuböru une, the design of the egg of the Dwarf Cassowary (Casuarius bennetti). Cassowary eggs are an important seasonal food source for Ömie people.
