A fragment of a post medieval bone dice. Only the face with 6 on is complete. It has been split almost in half so that faces 5 and 4 are identifiable but the others are not certain. If the dice conforms to ordinary post medieval dice patterns (opposing sides equalling 7) it would be an Egan type 12 (1997 ,1 fig. 2). Rather than being drilled, the holes appear to have been carved, with a slightly umbonate base. Further to the damage, the dice is stained black with Thames mud. Dimensions: edge of dice face: 11.53 mm; width of remaining dice: 6.50 mm; diameter of holes: 1.71 mm; wei…

An incomplete post medieval copper alloy set of dividers in their case, dating 16th-18th century. These dividers comprise two hinged arms.

The pin that would have held the dividing arms together is missing. The arms are decoratively cast so that they have a varied, faceted appearance. On the middle section of the arms this faceting has created an oval depression on both the front and back surfaces. There is no evidence of a maker'…
