Ornament Motif Identifier

Living or once-living things such as people, animals, monsters, or skeletons.

Note: masks and certain columns and supports may have organic forms (i.e. shaped like a human), but are listed under inorganic since they are functional objects rather than living beings.


Non-living things such as architectural features, masks, patterns, and objects like clothing, jewels, and weapons.


A motif that does not fit into any of the categories described in this selection tool, but seems significant enough to be categorized and labeled at a later date. Think of this as a placeholder tag for when you run into unknowns.
