Battledore and shuttlecock, or jeu de volant, is a game ancestral to the modern sport of badminton. It is played by two or more people using small rackets (battledores), made of parchment or rows of gut stretched across wooden frames, and shuttlecocks, made of a base of some light material, such as cork, with trimmed feathers fixed around the top.
