content: Three phalangeal bones and one leather-wrapped metal implement. The bones are each perforated in several places and are colored with a red pigment, particularly around the ends. One bone has a broken cord knotted around its end. The metal implement's leather cord appears to be severed or broken off. These pieces may be the components of a ring and pin game, similar to those illustrated in Culin's Games of the North American Indians, and they strongly resemble the version played by the Arapaho (see p. 529), or the Cheyenne (see p. 532). These pieces were found together in a bag with E432841 when received.
