Title Yambiam kuma ‘Bioluminescent mushrooms’
Description This string figure represents bioluminescent mushrooms which frequently grow on rotting logs and can be found anywhere in the bush. The hunters sometimes use them as a ‘torch’ when they are in the bush at night. In the past, warriors used them to paint their faces before a night raid of another group’s camp.
Making this string figure starts with making awiamañ. The string figure-makers sometimes stop there, sometimes indicate that that is awiamañ, or sometimes just stop for a while before making the final two moves that produce yambiam kuma.
