[EBAY] Ancient Egyptian Dice: 20-sided, 12-sided and 6-sided !!!



I'm auctioning a set of reproduction ancient Egyptian dice. The
originals are in the Louvre museum in Paris. The Louvre shop - the
only store in the world that sells these - won't ship outside of
France. I only have this set spare. So this could be your only chance
of getting these beauties.
 
The originals date back to the Ptolemaic period (323 - 30 BC) when
Greek and Egyptian cultures influenced each other, hence the Greek
numbering. These dice are cast by the Louvre's own casting workshop.
They're very well made.
 
The set consists of a 20-sided die, a rhomboid 12-sided die and two
six-sided dice.
 
The auction can be found here:

Good luck!
