Title Kamao ‘Bandicoot’
Description The bandicoot (Echymipera rufescens) is one of the few marsupials that is also hunted by women, often hit with a stick when spotted in the bush close to the village.
The final design of this string figure resembles the pointed nose of a bandicoot. After this, the figure-maker goes on to make the bandicoot’s stick nest. The animal now needs to be killed, so the string figure-maker cracks his or her knuckles to make a cracking sound, which represents breaking the bandicoot’s neck.
