Petroglyph Tree

One of ten greetings cards of different Amerindian imagery, in plastic wrapping with an envelope. The card has a picture of a stylised tree with ten green, regularly spaced, upward-pointing branches, with brightly coloured symbol hanging at the tip of each branch like decorations on a Christmas tree. At the bottom right of the picture are the artist's initials in the form of @ and '01. The card is made of cream-coloured, lightly ridged, thick paper with rough edges, folded in half along a vertical axis with a picture on the front. The envelope is also cream coloured and both are sealed in a plastic bag or sleeve. On the back of the card, ''Petroglyph Tree' Correia Guyana 2002' is printed or written.
