THE EUROPE FAN FEATURED A HEAD WITH SEVEN EYES AND THE CATALAN ROMANESQUE CROSS. FOR ASIA, BUDDHA’S EYES. AFRICA WAS DEPICTED WITH SYMBOLS USED BY THE SENUFO ETHNIC GROUP FROM IVORY COAST. FOR NORTH AMERICA, PICTORIAL ELEMENTS OF THE DAKOTA NATIVE AMERICANS. FOR SOUTH AMERICA, I CHOSE LIZARDS FROM ANCIENT PERUVIAN TEXTILES. OCEANIA WAS REPRESENTED WITH DRAWINGS INSPIRED BY ABORIGINAL ART.
