Pintaderas and Cymatics?

This is the english translation of the original post in italian language. Maybe abroad someone may take this seriously? (Please refer to the original italian post for additional links on relevant words).

Perhaps this is just an exercise in analogic-thinking in the literal sense (not in the translated and prevailing today's dicothomy: analogical-digital).

It is an hypothesis which should be tested through rather simple data comparison and I believe this is not the last I will write as an explicit challenge. Interpretation is not my aim.

What are "pintaderas"? they are generally ceramics artifacts usually discovered in association with Bronze Age sites. I only know (and not thoroughly) those from the so-called Nuragic Civilization in Sardinia (Italy), although I know there are other examples from different geographic areas (eg. the Canary Islands). These objects' aim is not straightforward: the term used to identify them refers to a "stamp" function, on different materials, not only fabrics (I once tried on bread with nice results!). They usually possess carved decorations with radial symmetry. Many designs are attested.

What is Cymatics? it is a science which studies the forms created by sound waves on different materials media. The pioneers in this science seem to have been Galileo Galilei, followed by Robert Hook at the end of the eighteenth century, and the first scientist (in that he has coherently experimented and published the reports) was swiss Hans Jenny. Today cymatics is practiced with different aims, from artistic outcomes (which I find beautiful) to healing frequencies study.

So.

The question is (in english "the research question"): is there a link between pintaderas decoration and forms obtained by specific sound frequencies in cymatics experiments?

CAUTION! THIS IMAGE IS JUST A POSSIBLE COMPARISON EXAMPLE! It just shows together a cymatic experiment with radial forms in salt and the replica of a pintadera from the Nuragic culture (the original is from S'Urbale, Sardinia, Italy).

EXPERIMENT, PEOPLE, EXPERIMENT!
