Description: | Copper alloy die. Cast cuboid die with drilled pits of diameter c.2mm denoting the values of its sides. The arrangement of the numbered sides is unconventional, departing from either the 'sevens' convention whereby opposite sides always total seven, or the alternative of ascending numbers [i.e. one opposite two, three opposite four, and so on]. In this case, one is opposite three, two opposite four, and five opposite six. The drilling of the sides numbered six and four is especially irregular. This may suggest manufacture in an informal or craft setting. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Length: 10.3mm, Width: 10.6mm, Thickness: 10.4mm, Weight: 9.22gms.
