Description

Just like the ‘crippled leg’, ‘a bent-over man’ is another string figure representing a physical characteristic that is pointed out without reservations. This string figure may be made from scratch or can follow from awiamañ ‘red pandanus’. It involves the subprocedure called tasam kola ‘grasshopper’s legs’ (also known as ‘loop exchange’).
