I looked up that catalogue again on the Sotheby's site to see if there was a better shot, but the cover was the only one that had a good view of the cheek tattoos. Those shots are the best resolution I have (as found).
There are plenty of square space-filling motifs in Marquesan art to choose from - check out some of the carved bowls or coconuts for good examples.
