Malagan funerary carvings from northern New Ireland are intricate polychrome figures and friezes cut from dark wood as pierced openwork — a filigree of interlocking forms made for mortuary feasts. Their fronts are painted in black, orange-red ochre, and white lime, with inset Turbo-shell opercula set as glinting eyes.

This design system translates that three-colour scheme over carved wood into an interface language: a near-black ground beneath dense pierced detail, ochre and lime accents reading as flat matte paint, and shell-eye highlights that catch the light.
