I was sent this photo by Joe, who I met last weekend. (Hi Joe, if you're reading!) It was found in the Pitt Rivers museum in Oxford, UK.

The bit you might have trouble reading says "phalangial bones of deer".

If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

Now I'm picturing a kendama made from bone!

Neat stuff.

Ah, that's really cool.

The Pitt-Rivers Museum has always been a favorite of mine, I grew up near there. I really recommend you go if you're in Oxford sometime. Watch out for the shrunken human heads (I kid you not), they are astonishing / amazing / weird / creepy / all of the above.

Fascinating. I wonder if there is any literature particularly covering the history (even ancient history?) of skill toys and games? Would be a pretty absorbing area of anthropology, I would imagine.Thanks for sharing.

(I have a pommawanga I bought in Canada years ago; it's infuriating, yet hugely satifying when you hit all six rings on a downspike :) )
