Chinese games with dice; [paper] read before The Oriental Club of Philadelphia, March 14, 1889
A short 1889 paper by ethnologist Stewart Culin, read before the Oriental Club of Philadelphia, describing Chinese dice games and gambling for a scholarly audience of collectors and anthropologists. Its three pictures show a figure bent over a board game, a game board with counters in ivory-coloured channels, and four carved dice with pips in black and white, giving a designer period examples of Asian gaming motifs and decorative pip patterns.
