Description: | A complete crudely-made, irregular, cuboid, lead or lead-alloy die. The numerals on each face are formed of punched circular marks. The opposing sides do not all add up to seven and the numerals do not consist of the standard 1-6 typically seen on dice but instead consist of 1,1,2,2,3 & 4 which makes it non-standard. The opposing sides are numbered 4/1, 3/1 and probably 2/2 (although one of these faces is damaged)The cuboid is approximately square in dimensions with an average side length of 13.3mm. It weighs 21.7g and has developed a white patina.The use of lead, irregular shape and arrangement of dots all suggest it was locally made and therefore hard to date precisely. similar dice already recorded on the database range from Roman to Post Medieval and therefore this item will be recorded as of unknown date.
