I did a little research, spoke to a couple of my contacts at the Met, and actually found out that this is a game called squall, which involves beating a goose with a stick on Shrove Tuesday.
Uurisin veidi, rääkisin paari tuttavaga muuseumist ja sain teada, et see on üks mäng, kus keppidega pekstakse hane vastlapäeval.
