1 like•537 views
Gravestone iconography in Appalachia provides valuable insights into regional religious values and culture. Local stone carvers crafted gravestones that conveyed important messages about life, death, and the sacred through common symbols. The earliest Appalachian gravestones were generally simple with eroded inscriptions, but later ones featured symbols like funerary urns representing mortality, weeping willows denoting grief, and doves indicating deceased children. Appalachian gravestones serve as outdoor museums reflecting the transcendent aspirations of the societies that created them.

Storytelling & symbolism pp
Native American oral traditions such as storytelling were an important way for tribes to pass down their history, culture, and beliefs from one generation to the next before written language. Stories contained plots, settings, themes, imagery and symbolism and helped teach important lessons. Kachina dolls symbolized ancestral spirits and were used in religious ceremonies to communicate with gods. Tribal songs and dances also portrayed stories and traditions. Rock art in the forms of pictographs and petroglyphs served as a form of record keeping. While storytelling is less common today, some authors work to preserve these oral traditions.

397848409-A-Brief-History-of-Philippine-Art-pptx.pdf
Pre-colonial Philippine art was integrated into everyday life through rituals and ceremonies. Expressions like music, dance, and visual arts were not distinguished as separate categories. Rituals marked important events and involved performances, offerings, and divination. Indigenous art forms varied between ethnic groups and included carvings, weavings, pottery, body adornments, and musical and dance traditions that imitated nature. Under Spanish colonial rule from the 16th-19th centuries, Christian art and architecture developed following Baroque styles. Local art incorporated European influences while maintaining some traditions. Theater and music evolved new hybrid forms.
Australian Aboriginal Culture in Art

The harp was played by ancient musicians and represents the immortality of the soul. The Claddagh ring from Galway symbolizes friendship, love, and loyalty through its hands, heart, and crown design.
Storytelling & symbolism pp
Native Americans passed down their history, traditions, and knowledge through oral storytelling, as they could not read or write. Stories contained symbolism and taught important lessons. Kachina dolls symbolized ancestral spirits and were used to teach indigenous beliefs. Rock art was another form of early record keeping that depicted symbolic images and events through pictographs and petroglyphs. Storytelling remains an important tradition for preserving Native American culture, though it is less common today.

一比一原版(QMUE毕业证书)英国爱丁堡玛格丽特女王大学毕业证文凭如何办理
永久可查学历认证【微信：A575476】【(QMUE毕业证书)英国爱丁堡玛格丽特女王大学毕业证成绩单Offer】【微信：A575476】（留信学历认证永久存档查询）采用学校原版纸张、特殊工艺完全按照原版一比一制作（包括：隐形水印，阴影底纹，钢印LOGO烫金烫银，LOGO烫金烫银复合重叠，文字图案浮雕，激光镭射，紫外荧光，温感，复印防伪）行业标杆！精益求精，诚心合作，真诚制作！多年品质 ,按需精细制作，24小时接单,全套进口原装设备，十五年致力于帮助留学生解决难题，业务范围有加拿大、英国、澳洲、韩国、美国、新加坡，新西兰等学历材料，包您满意。
【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
留信网认证的作用:
1:该专业认证可证明留学生真实身份
2:同时对留学生所学专业登记给予评定
3:国家专业人才认证中心颁发入库证书
4:这个认证书并且可以归档倒地方
5:凡事获得留信网入网的信息将会逐步更新到个人身份内，将在公安局网内查询个人身份证信息后，同步读取人才网入库信息
6:个人职称评审加20分
7:个人信誉贷款加10分
8:在国家人才网主办的国家网络招聘大会中纳入资料，供国家高端企业选择人才
→ 【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
