Polynesian Guardian Half Sleeve

Descripción

Bold Polynesian blackwork wraps the shoulder and upper arm, extending onto the chest. A central tiki mask within a sun circle anchors the piece, while bands of spearheads, shark teeth, waves, and woven patterns interlock around it. The design uses strong linework and negative space for depth, forming a cohesive half sleeve. Symbols traditionally represent protection, strength, guidance over the sea, and connection to ancestry.
