String Figures done on the hands of the expert are there for the moment and then with a twist of the hand they disappear from sight and slowly dim in the eye of the memory.

"The mounted string figures were done in ritual with a healing intent. The mana’o was not necessarily derived from the literal or cultural translations as found in Dickey (1928) but rather as a hidden message that has come to me."—lois stokes

Your favorite image of a figure is now mounted on a rattan mat bound on all sides with a 2" black binding. These mats are ritually created to influence healing and wellness.
