Description: | A lead die. The object is a square in plan and rectangular in section, and each panel contains dots representing one of the numbers between 1-6. The die is crudely made and has uneven corners and edges.The number one is represented by a single dot in the centre of one of the two larger faces. To the right the panel is decorated with four dots, one in each corner. To the right the panel is decorated with six dots, three along each side. To the right the panel is decorated with three dots set diagonally across the face from top left to bottom right. The panel at the top is decorated with five dots arranged in two lines (the left contains two, and the right contains three). The panel at the base is decorated with two dots, both located in the bottom right hand corner.One opposes six; three opposes four; two opposes five.Dice are difficult to date, and as such is recorded here as Roman to Post-medieval.
