content: Series of game pieces. Approx. 108 reddish-brown sticks of two different Lengths, two carnivore teeth, one small grey rock with green stone inclusion, and one button hook. All were contained in a hand-sewn cloth bag. Silver button hook has decorative handle and an engraving that reads "1847 Rogers Bros." Sticks appear similar to those described as counting sticks for hand game in Culin's Games of the North American Indians (278); other pieces remain unidentified as to their function in this context. These pieces were found together in bag with E432940 when received.
