Made of carved and polychrome wood. the vertical part received a ball which descended the spiral to lodge in one of the numbered receptacles. The player with the highest number wins the game. Child's play but also gambling. The top of the column represents an Ottoman seated cross-legged with his turban and large mustaches. Polychromy partly worn but entirely original. 30 cm high, top 21.5 cm in diameter. (a knot in the center of the board having blown out, was replaced a very long time ago) by a small square of wood
