Description |
This string figure represents grasshopper’s legs (literally, grasshopper’s hands). At the same time as being a distinct string figure design, tasam kola is also an indigenously recognised and named sub-procedure.
As a sub-procedure it is performed in the following way:
pull the outer (dorsal) sides of 2∞ a little bit away from the fingers, insert R2∞ into L2∞ and swap the loops (L2∞ is hung on R2 and R2∞ is hung on L2), then pull palms apart again
