also, das buch von von den steinen ist über marquesanische designs.
wenn du mal die links gelesen hättest, die ich gepostet habe, hättest du folgende info bekommen:
So what do the designs of Moko mean?
That is not so easy a question to answer because there are no finite meanings for any single type of design. As the designs themselves vary from one place or artist to another so too do their meanings. In general, however, there are common designs and placements that regularly occur across all the tribes and artists.
In this case there is a common understanding as to what a Koru means. Which includes such concepts as birth, growth, re-birth, re-growth, inheritance etc. Then there is the form in which Koru are placed. This can produce such design components as Puhoro, Mango-pare etc.
One must also bear in mind the placement, which, as mentioned, is a regularity, and therefore must account toward the meanings of an area. So for that matter with Puhoro, meaning "speed" it is very compatible to place this upon the legs, being the common mode of transport.
Over all these designs are varying and need more than just a FAQ in order to be addressed.
What if I wanted just a Maori design instead of a Moko?
Further back was mentioned such a concept known as "Kirituhi."
Kirituhi translates literally to mean - "drawn skin."
As opposed to Moko which requires a process of consents, genealogy and historical information, Kirituhi is merely a design with a Maori flavour that can be applied anywhere, for any reason and on anyone. This is not to say that Kirituhi is void of meaning because any recipient with their skilled artist can apply meaning to any design. But based upon the definition of Moko, Kirituhi is void of consents, genealogy and historical meaning.

ein authentisches maori design zu bekommen ist also nur maoris möglich. die maoris schätzen es auch nicht, wenn leute die nicht zu ihrem stamm gehören, sich ihre designs machen lassen. selbst wenn man an die infos der bedeutungen kommt, versteht man diese sowieso nicht, solange man nicht die dazugehörige kultur studiert.
das ist kein ex-und-hopp gebiet, in das man sich mal an einem nachmittag einliest...
