- Description
- Small domed disk of white porcelin used in gambling games, like Fantan or in the game of Go.
- Object History
- This game piece was found in the 1990s underneath the Chauffeur's cottage at Ceperley Mansion (Burnaby Art Gallery today). It bears resemblance to a game piece from Fantan set. There were Chinese Canadians working at the Fairacres Estate around 1912, so it is possible this piece is related to these workers.
