The generic name of these trays is wája, many things could be said about them.They're a cultural element derived from a deep capacity for contemplation of non-human #Others. This is the pattern for kwekwe, the native name of Dendrobates leucomelas (I put below a photo I took), also called in Spanish arrowhead little #frog (“punta de flecha”), since it's used as an ingredient in the poison for hunting. Some alternative names may also be kawau, sinyawe and tubudu, which are other frogs.
