Dice have paralleled the development of human culture from as far back as 3,000 B.C. in India. While the materials used to make them have changed -- from bone to plastics -- the familiar six-sided polyhedral die has remained virtually unchanged in that time: opposite sides add up to seven, and the numbers 1-3 are arranged counter-clockwise (or "right-handed") around their vertex in the West, while Chinese, "left handed," dice are arranged in a clockwise manner. With this ancient time-honored tradition in mind, we present this glorious wood and brass inlay box with a playful die design made in India. Inside are five over-sized brass and wood dice for use in your home dice games or as a conversation starter. Odds are, this is a great gift for someone you know!
