These records describe toys made out of wood, metal, or painted terra cotta (clay).To use, the player pulls the string through the loop to make a slipknot, puts his/her finger through the slipknot at the end of the string and grasps the toy “X”. Then the player throws it downwards with a smooth light motion. When it reaches the end of the string, the toy “X” can be made to "sleep," the axle of the “X” spinning within a loop of string. As the body of the “X”spins, a gyroscopic effect occurs, stabilizing the “X”on its axis and permitting time to perform a number of movements. By flicking the wrist, the “X”can be made to return to the player's hand, with the string again completely twisted into the groove.
