Title as submitted EN: Picture showing the puppets of naive Karakoz and his clever friend Eiwaz, made by the Mukhayels themselves from individual parts attached together with buttons (to allow movements), like the head, torso, and limbs. The puppet is controlled by one or more hemp sticks attached from the back.
