Ancient Egyptian Islamic Era Ivory Dice, 7th-10th Century AD

Item Details

Description

An exceptional piece of early Islamic craftsmanship, this small but significant artifact measures 2.5 cm in length and approximately 0.98 inches in width, crafted from fine ivory. Originating from the period between the 7th and 10th centuries AD, this dice is a rare example of gaming instruments from the Islamic world, especially notable for its numeric limitations to four numbers - 1, 2, 5, and 6. The absence of two numbers is a reflection of the restrictions placed on gambling during the Islamic era, aligning with religious prohibitions of the time. This dice not only served as a tool for entertainment but also symbolizes the cultural and religious practices that influenced everyday life in ancient Egypt. Its compact dimensions and the material of ivory indicate both the preciousness of the item and the high status of its owner. Collectors and enthusiasts of Islamic history will appreciate the unique narrative this piece contributes to their assemblage.
