The large zig-zagging motifs represent dahoru’e - the design of the Ömie mountains. The arrow-tip design or chevrons are hurihuri’e - small Ömie mountains. The lines that run through the painting are known as orriseegé or ’pathways’ and provide a compositional framework for the design. The orriseegé has been filled with a design known as sabu’ahe - the design of the black spots of the caterpillar. The small triangular designs are buboriano’e - the design of the beak of Blyth’s Hornbill. The buboriano’e design can also be found woven around the edges of burejihanö’e (traditional Ömie mats) which are given as part of the bride price by the groom’s family to the parents of the bride.
