Game Ball; Bola Sepak; Sepak Tawrag

Game ball called "Sepak Tawrag," with original packaging of its box, bag inside the box, and "THE RULES & METHODS To Play SEPAK TAKRAW" directions. The ball is made from cane and is spherical in shape, with interlocking and overlapping layers that form the ball. It is overall yellow in color, but it is not uniform because the natural plant material that it is made with varies in each area. The surface is very hard and smooth, making for a sturdy ball that will hold up with continuous use.
