Title
Post Medieval bone gaming piece for the game 'dominos' or 'dominoes', probably dating to the 17th-18th century
Description
English: A complete Post Medieval bone gaming piece for the game 'dominos' or 'dominoes', probably dating to the 17th-18th century.

It is a domino of the value of 9 (1 and 8) with 9 drilled circular pits on one side. The pits are irregulary spaced. The 1 and 8 pits are separated by an incised vertical line. Reverse side is undecorated.

The earliest domino sets are thought to date from the 13th century and originate in China. The game reached Europe by the 18th century and is thought to derive its name from the French word 'Domino' for a black and white hood worn by Christian priests in winter. A parallel can be found on the PAS database: PUBLIC-FA2509, LON-A1D561 and LANCUM-0F9CD7.

Dimensions: length: 24.53 mm; width: 11.87 mm; thickness: 5.19mm; weight: 2.86g.
