This pendant is cast from a bone gaming counter I found while metal detecting and digging in a field. Bone gaming counters have a long history, with examples found from prehistoric times through to the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods, where they were used for board games. Early counters were made from a variety of bones from different animals and were carved by hand. I'm not sure how old this one is but I love the pattern and the raw bone texture on the back.
