Title
Post-medieval lead dice shaker
Description
English: A post-medieval lead dice shaker and lead dice. The lead dice was found inside the shaker. The shaker is cylindrical, crudely made and damaged at the top. The top edge is torn and irregular. The base is smooth. The shaker has the size and appearance of other lead containers often recorded as bird feeders or powder-flask caps.

The dice is a rectangular cube measuring 13mm x 11mm and would therefore present a bias in the roll. The wider faces are numbered 1, 3, 5 and six, while the two narrower ends are numbered 2 and 4. The numbers are designed in negative relief with single circular holes.

This object is difficult to date, but might be circa 1600-1800 (See: Egan, G. 'Dice', Finds Research Group 700-1700 Datasheet 23).
