Game made from lacquered wood, string and beads. The game consists of a long stick with a piece of black string at one end and a large disc on the other; the stick is orange. The disc is decorated on the top with a gold, crackling effect, inlaid white metal and has bands in orange and black. Suspended from the large disc by string are four small, orange discs that each have four orange, wooden beads suspended from them with coloured string.
