Terra cotta discs

Bookmark and Share

Ancient Indus terra cotta discs, probably used by children in games similar to those still played in modern Pakistan and India

One of the games played by the children of the Indus cities may be represented by terra cotta discs found in graduated sizes. A game called "pittu" is played throughout Pakistan and northern India even today, with stacks of pottery discs and a ball made of cloth or rubber.
