Description
Bone dice in the shape of a geometric cube (six faces), in which each side has an imprinted number. Each number on each side is represented by a pair of concentric circles and a central incised point. This is biased die: the interior is hollow, which is covered with a piece where the weight helped the die to fall on the side that interested.
