Title Nok anda kamboya ‘A stone-axe with the blade facing up’
Description After selling the last few blades to the neighbouring Asangamut who traded them on to collectors, the Awiakay do not have any more stone axes in the village. Accounts of using this tool, however, remain in the Awiakay mythology, songs and oral histories, as well as in the fact that two string figures represent a stone axes.
A closely related figure kokosik anda kamboya ‘stone axe with the blade facing down’ is a mirror image of this one.
