Content "These were collected in 1899 by Rev. H. R. Voth, and are described by him as implements for the game of totolospi: In this game either two or four participate. Each player has one piece, which is placed in the ring seen in the four semicircles. The sticks are then thrown by one party, and as long as either the plain or the figured sides of all the sticks lie upward he moves his piece forward over the cross lies toward the center. As soon as the sticks present different surfaces another player throws." Culin 1907: 160.
