Description: | A carved soapstone object, which could be a gaming piece of early-medieval to medieval date.
The piece is octagonal in shape with seven of the sides decorated with incised cross-hatching. The eighth side, most probably the front of the piece, is carved with a 'Gothic' archway flanked by pillars. The top and the base of the piece are flat with a circular hole running through the centre. The stone is a pale greyish-white in colour with flecks of red occurring in places. The piece is slightly cracked on three sides. The piece is 19.3mm tall and 23.4mm wide and weighs 20.8g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Morris, Rebecca | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
