Hand-Carved Bone Gaming Dice, 12 mm, Set of 6
A Roll of the Dice Through History
Dice games are among the oldest and most beloved pastimes in human history. In the Middle Ages, they were immensely popular across all social classes. Soldiers rolled them to pass the time in camp, merchants and craftsmen played in inns, and nobles gambled in their castles. Dice were a symbol of chance and fate, but also of vice and gambling. The Church often spoke out against dicing, which paradoxically only added to its roguish appeal. The game of "Hazard", a complex ancestor of modern craps, originates from this period. With this set, you can not only play historical games but also add a unique flair to your favourite RPG sessions.
Authentic Craftsmanship
Each die in this set is made from ethically sourced ox bone, which gives it a characteristic ivory-like colour and a unique texture. These are not perfectly balanced casino dice, but faithful replicas of historical gaming tools. Their charm lies precisely in their imperfection, which is a mark of handmade quality and gives them soul.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for historical board games, D&D and other tabletop RPGs, as a prop for re-enactment and LARP, or as a stylish collector's item.
- A Great Gift: A perfect present for any lover of history, fantasy, and board games.

How to Care for Your Bone Dice
Bone is a natural material and requires gentle handling to keep your dice looking beautiful for a long time.
What to Keep in Mind
Do not expose the dice to water or high humidity for extended periods – they could crack. Also, protect them from direct sunlight and high temperatures. For cleaning, use only a dry or very slightly damp cloth. Avoid any chemicals, oils, or solvents. Over time and with use, the dice will develop a natural patina that will only enhance their historical appearance.
