[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1002765, member: 5833"]I nearly commented on this up front; it is a typical sun symbol. If they are launching/beaching a canoe, it has a very angular prow (if that word can be used with a canoe). My feeling is that artist is not Native American, particularly not Southwest. The size suggested a plate from a book to me, & there's no reason it can't have been perfectly cut for framing. Having been schooled to think of books as virtually sacred, it was rather a jolt to me when I first learned that print sellers will do this to old books if they think more money is to be had that way. However, it's certainly not necessarily an illustration. Maybe the need I feel for some text to explain who they are & what they're doing is also leading me that way. :)[/QUOTE]
