Abstract
Hungarian Throwing Sticks POSSIBLE ethnological affinities for a ‘casting staff’ in use in Hungary some thirty to forty years ago have been suggested by Béla Garda, of the Ethnographical Museum, Budapest (Man, Jan. 1941). The Hungarian casting staff was a characteristic weapon of the herdsmen, who were never without them. They were used in fights among the herdsmen themselves or against wolves attacking their herds.
