Shuttlecock
This rounders’ ball has been made from corn husks. The thickness is achieved by layering the leaves. The overlapping leaves are then woven together. This popular game was played by boys and young men, who stood in a circle and volleyed the balls to each other with the flat of their hands. The aim was to avoid allowing the balls to touch the ground.
