On my last visit to the Dominican Republic, I bought a beautiful painting. Now that I have it at home in a nice frame, I have been looking at it and wondering what the painting means. I bought it because I loved the look of it, but never thought about what the symbols could mean. Does anyone know where I could possibly find some information about symbols used in Dominican or Haitian artwork?

This might help narrow the field a little on the artwork I am asking about. I know that it is Taino art, the symbols are the same as other Taino paintings I have seen. I am just wondering if there is anywhere to find out what the symbols mean. Thanks!

It's a retail site, but if you contact them directly off their support page they'll definitely be able to help you.

They speak very little English however.

naskapi, play around with Google and you will get a lot of info on symbols. For example, start with Taino art+symbols.
