<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1304179, member: 19065&quot;]Every culture perceives, symbolizes and applies color differently with their own set of aesthetic principles. It&#039;s really hard to say whether it is really over the top or not. I don&#039;t dislike them, but for some it may be too bold or even too childish looking like toy money. However, it&#039;s not really so garish nor juvenile, and I&#039;d bet a lot more thought went into it than may first be assumed by those not familiar with the series and dynamics of people and deciding factors behind the notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recall we had a discussion on such things about some African notes within the last year where a collector brought up a wild design with heavy patterns and a lot of negative reaction quickly followed, but it says more about everyone&#039;s cultural differences and knee jerk reactions to visual stimulus when it differs so greatly from our own norms.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for posting these notes. I have never seen them but have always admired research and documentary work on Easter Island culture as it always seems to be a great mystery to the world that we can learn from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
