설명

This figure featured in sogo bò performances organized by the kamalen ton youth association. Such entertainments include masks and puppets portraying animals, mythical creatures, and figures from village life. Theatrical ensembles showcased an ever-changing cast. For each new figure, a wooden marionette and costume are commissioned, and a song is created in collaboration with female singers. This specific character, though not documented, belongs to the maani (literally, “miniature person”) category.
