That is a traditional Assyk game. She was probably a champion. https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/kazakh-traditional-assyk-games-01086
I noticed only boys play the game now. Either way, I'd like to imagine that she was buried with them so that she could continue to play in their afterlife. Humans can be so cute... sometimes
I think it is just competitive for boys. We used to play in school with girls and boys. Girls usually were better at it)
Neat :)
I'm not trying to judge her, but it's sort of like when you go over to someone's house and you find out they have a walk-in closet specifically for their shoes.
Or worse, when they have a walk-in closet for their sheep ankle bones.
You just know this girl had a sheep ankle bone closet in her mud hut.
And they all have names

Is anyone else here getting a little emotional about the idea of grieving relatives burying a teenage girl with her special collection? Whatever her reason, she really cared about all those ankle bones, and her family wanted to make sure that she could keep them. Maybe even they didn't understand why they were important to her, but she was important to them, so they buried their daughter with her sheep ankle bones.
I get 180 sheep ankle bones, he cannot afford. Great success!
What about my pog collection!?
Wasn't five stones a game though? Like where you catch them on the back of your hand or something?
What if we stumbled onto the grave of the world champion five stone player?
Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
