content: From card: "Cylinders of cottonwood, with faces cut out, as in prayer plumes. Three of these cylinders have terraced projections from the top of the head. One is plain and has a small spur. The latter is labeled "Oaka", male child. These objects resemble the gaming cups of the Hopi and Zuni, and are probably related to them."
