Wooden chest with a set of mahjong, a Chinese game with rectangular stones, in the case of the offered item made of bone, attributed to Confucius, incorporating many versions of the rules over the centuries and with a modern single-player mutation. It evolved from a card game similar to rummy. Mah-jong means "sparrows", birds of mystical intelligence. Very good state of preservation.
