Specimen from a Canadian collection of international kites. Mr. Yves Laforest is a kite collector and flier from the Montreal area.
Function
A light frame covered with light material, lifted by wind and flown by a long cord, usually but not always for recreational purposes.
Technical
The most spectacular type of kite is probably the Chinese dragon or centipede, which is found in all sizes and qualities. A dragon kite is composed of a hand painted head and body; the elaborate head often has moving eyes or tongue; the body consists of disks of identical or decreasing size, linked by cord. On either side of each disk is a balancing rod decorated with feathers or paper (Ref. 1).
