"Dominó de Figuras" children's picture domino game
Object/Artifact
Cuban children's picture‑domino set in a square illustrated cardboard box. The lid art shows two rosy‑cheeked children with animals (elephant, parrot, deer, fish, cat) in a bright mod style, titled "DOMINÓ de figuras," noting "contiene 45 fichas." Inside (image 2): a molded white plastic tray holding the playing tiles (fichas), each printed with a colorful animal picture — rooster, fish, elephant, deer, rabbit, cat, bird, etc. — used to match pictures domino‑style rather than pips.
