Long Dice - Viking Bone Dice:
Real bone not resin! Evidence of this style of dice have been found in Roman Encampments as well as Viking. From 200BC to 1200 AD.
Dice History:
Dice have been used since before recorded history. It is thought that dice developed from the practice of fortune-telling by throwing knucklebones! Seen in Egypt from 4000BCE, Iran between 2800 and 2500 BCE, Scotland (Skara Brae) 3100–2400 BCE and of course from the Viking Burial ground in Gotland, Sweden, where this style die (dice) has been styled from.
Perfect for re-enactment, modern Vikings, LARP, Cosplay or any dice game.
Please remember these are hand made so will vary in size, shape so wont be calibrated like today's plastic varieties.
Made in my workshop in South Wales.🏴
Wonderful quality. Another bone for the bone collection— has the bone smell and texture
Am absolutely blown away with the thought, care and craftsmanship used in creating the long bone Viking dice . Look and feel beatiful, this item really exceeded my expectations.
9everal sets and by mistake got 2 small D6 instead of one of the two D4s ))) But that's no problem, either way I have full set of D4s and both small and big D6 in the leather pouch :)
I received two beautifully crafted bone dice, each with four faces, perfect for playing Daldøs in authentic Viking style. The carving is precise and clean, with a satisfying tactile feel that speaks to the care put into their creation. They arrived safely and right on schedule, well protected for transit. These dice add a genuine historical touch to the game and feel like artifacts from a Norse longship. A must-have for anyone passionate about traditional Scandinavian board games or historical reenactment.
