Verified profile

In the central part there is a smiling circular face (Happy Face), or the solar god, portrayed from the front with large eyes in concentric circles, a toothed mouth and four long rays, two of which ending with zoomorphic heads. The figure is surrounded by a myriad of animal figures referring to the cosmogony and the coastal pantheon: mythical snakes, birds of prey and sea, scolopendras, polyps, jagged triangles and Greek. All of these figures can be traced back to the rituals dedicated to fertility and the protection of all terrestrial and marine sources of nourishment.
