DescriptionFlat, rectangular piece of pine-wood, painted red on the flat side and black on the convex side, with tringles and a crescent in red. The thumb hole is decorated to form the shape of a whale. Towards one end a square, carved piece of bone is inserted through the wood to appear at both sides, and can be raised to create an end-stop for the dart. There is a groove carved into the convex side to fit the dart.
