Polynesian Sun and Spearhead Crest

Description

Bold Polynesian blackwork covering the upper arm and shoulder. Flowing swirls anchor the design, bordered by triangle arrays and bands. The repeated triangular motifs, often read as shark teeth or spearheads, symbolize strength and protection, while the radiating sun shapes suggest vitality and guidance. Negative space and crisp linework create strong contrast and rhythm. The layout forms a cohesive cap that can be extended into a larger sleeve.
