History Of Dice:

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 and Upland, Sweden, where these dice have been styled from.

Perfect for re-enactment, modern Vikings, LARP, Cosplay or any dice enthusiast 🎲
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.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
