Traditional wooden top

Traditional handcrafted wooden top with string.

Traditionally made by lathe operators, the top is made of hardwood, rounded at the top, tapering down and ending with the "stinger" or "beak" made of metal. To rotate the top it is vital to have a string that wraps around it.

Well-known throughout the country, this is an ancient children's game, mainly played by boys.

New times brought new toys but the wooden top will forever be in the memory of traditional Portuguese games.
