Hey Shay D,
This appears to be a New Zeland ancient style of art, that manifests on various media.

Sorry, but coromandel art has nothing to do with New Zealand:
"Although originally a Chinese art form, Coromandel is named for the Indian port near Madras where many early products were shipped to Western markets. The arrival of Coromandel lacquer works in Europe started a vogue for lacquer furniture of all kinds, influencing the work of British and French furniture makers of the period."
