OK, I admit that I don’t know Aztec from Mayan when it comes to design. But, this public domain border image certainly reminds me of those two ancient civilizations from Mexico. This two-part border image also reminds me of the sun medallions that appear on a lot of their temple ruins. I love the overall design but I think it’s the fact that the bottom half is wider than the top half that really makes this frame image special.
