Brass Travel Board game??

[SkinsFan36]

I have another mystery piece on my hands her that I thought maybe someone could identify. It is a travel board game made of brass with brass animal playing pieces. There are 20 what look to be lambs and 4 bigger what looks like a shar pei or a mythical creature of some sort to me. There are 16 squares on the board each one dissected into two triangles. There is a compartment with a sliding wood piece underneath for game piece storage. Idk why there are so many pieces. They cant all fit on the board at once unless there are two per square. Looks old to me but who knows how old. Someone used it because I can see a tarnished fingerprint along one side of the board.

Could it be???


Pulijudam(Lambs and Tigers) is a two player game, with one player using three playing pieces representing tigers and the other using fifteen pieces representing lambs.
Each player takes a turn placing pieces on the grid, with the game beginning once the three tiger pieces have been placed on the three white areas of the grid.
Once all the tigers are in place, the game begins and pieces can be moved in alternating turns along straight lines on the grid, or in the case of the tiger, by jumping over a lamb piece to capture it.
The player playing as the lamb cannot move his/her pieces until all of them have been placed on the grid.
