A charming lithographed tin spinning top, known as a "daisy," designed for playful and divinatory use in the popular game "He loves me, a little, a lot…".

Its colorful red, white, and yellow decoration, combined with its lithographed tin construction, makes it a graphic, playful, and decorative object, now sought after by collectors of curiosities and antique games.
