Ribbon

A ribbon. SHIPPED BARE, AND THE REASON IS A CLAIM THAT LOOKS EDGEABLE AND IS NOT. The sole attestation is a Tier 2 list - “Common themes include anchors, swallows, nautical stars, hearts with ribbons, roses, daggers, and images of women.” - and the very next sentence says “Each of these designs carries specific meanings, reflecting important life values such as love, loyalty, and the quest for freedom.” THAT SENTENCE ASSIGNS MEANINGS COLLECTIVELY AND MAPS NONE OF THEM TO ANY ITEM. Turning it into edges would require me to decide which of love, loyalty and freedom belongs to the ribbon, and the source has not decided. Kept separate from motif_banner because no fetched source equates the two.

    iNKPPL Tattoo Magazine

    Tattoo magazine style guide. Names the traditional repertoire verbatim: "Common themes include anchors, swallows, nautical stars, hearts with ribbons, roses, daggers, and images of women." Gives per-symbol readings for the anchor, the swallow, the nautical star, the heart and the rose. Tier 2 trade source: competent on industry repertoire and modern practice, NOT on any cultural or ceremonial claim.
