Why color the cup-and-ball pictures?
The cup-and-ball is a traditional skill toy that has a spike and a ball joined by a string, in which you try to land the spike into the hole of the ball. Some of the other names it is known by are perinola, emboque, capirucho, boliche and kendama.
It has been discovered that this object has existed since the time of the ancient Mayans, although with some differences from what we know today; for example, these cup-and-balls had a human skull instead of a ball that was caught on the spike.
