people The Tay Peoples Folk Game: Spinning Top

The spinning tops of the Tay ethnic minority are crafted from various types of wood such as ironwood, guava, and grapefruit trees. These tops feature a unique design with a round and squat body, and a sharp point at the bottom that allows them to spin effortlessly.
