Bowls (Gä-jih) as such were used for a traditional Woodlands game involving peach pits (Gus-ka-eh). Of the few gaming bowls or dishes known, most have breaks with period repairs, as an action of the game was to slam the bowl upon a blanket to bounce the peach pits and the resulting action would frequently break the bowl. The repairs here are a testament to the historic game.

A gaming dish of near identical form (also with breaks and repairs) is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution, no. 81-2619. Another is illustrated in Lewis H. Morgan on Iroquois Material Culture, Tooker, p. 193—Morgan also describes in full the nature of this game.
