Title
PUBLIC-B977B6 DIE
Description
English: A Post-Medieval bone cuboid dice dating 16th - 18th century.

The dice is cuboid thus has six sides (a D6). The numbers are indicated by a double circle and dot motifs; they are arranged so the opposite sides add up to 7. The sides are in the arrangement known as Potter's variant 16.

Egan (1997:3) writes "A remarkable degree of uniformity is emerging in London for the most recent excavated dice, that is those of the 16th/17th century and later, first noticed among a group of over 40 of various sizes and with numbers indicated by double-circle-and-cot, circle-and-dot or dot alone, all of 17th - 18th century date and found at the site of the Fleet Prison. These are all regular dice, and more remarkably, all of them that are complete enough to gauge are just one variety - Potter's variant 16. They may well have been the output of a single prisoner turning meal bones into saleable goods".

Dimensions: length: 9.12mm; width: 8.68mm; thickness: 9.18mm; Weight: 1.35g.
