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 :)
Cool Long, Rectangular, Viking Bone Dice (I purchased 2 die) obviously made with great care and attention. They seem to be coated, possibly with epoxy, to keep them nice, shiny and clean (bones are porous, and therefore will absorb even the oil from hands and eventually become discoloured). Seller is nice and friendly, quick to answer questions. Shipping is sloooooooow. Not his fault. Neither the Royal Mail, the USPS, UPS, etc seem to be into that “quick, direct” thing, but the package was packed well and securely and did arrive safely. Everything within the control of “BushmanSurvival”', from the product to the packaging, was an aces and a 5-star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Etsy experience. Top recommendation, buy with confidence and enjoy a “real Viking” experience. 😊
Fantastic bone dice, lovely unusual gift, and they arrived quickly.
