Title Tupela dok sindaun long bris na bris i pundaun (Momay) ‘Two dogs sitting on a bridge and the bridge falls down’
Description This string figure represents two dogs sitting on a bridge. When the string figure emerges, the maker stretches the strings, and ‘the bridge’ collapses.
Log bridges often break under the weight of people, and many Awiakay and others in the area have experienced falling into creeks. Every such occurrence makes everyone around laugh at the person to whom it happened, and as such small bridges are not very high up, such accidents end without major injuries.
The makers of this figure usually say that this is a figure they’ve adopted from Asangamut, but they were happy to add it to the Awiakay string figure repertoire.
