Title
LANCUM-0F9CD7: Modern toy: domino counter
Description
English: A carved bone or antler gaming piece for the game 'dominos' or 'dominoes', probably dating from the 18th century. It is a domino of the value of 14 (7 and 7) with 14 drilled or carved circular settings for, possibly, black ivory insets on obverse. The carved line which separates one group of seven from the other is slightly off-centre.

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.
