Description

While water spirits are feared for their ability to harm people, the Awiakay say they are just like people, having families, social relations and obligations, as well as physical possessions, which are in their homes under water. This string figure represents the fireplace of a water spirit. It follows from the string figure called yomgoŋ ‘a turtle’. Images: 02: tasia aplasa ‘a water spirit’s fireplace’, final design
