Mini Handmade Wooden Dice antique double nine dominoes The loom itself was made

The loom itself was made expressly to perform its function: two of the pieces of wood were notched to allow the other two to lock squarely on top of them

Really nice

but not this drawing---it sold me immediately

Maybe it is just how grandly and dramatically it captures this moment of reunion--one could surely write a novel inspired by it

Mini Handmade Wooden Dice antique double nine dominoes The loom itself was madeThese are dice are TINY just over 1 4" inch across on each side but I think they're so good! I've shot them at 2x magnification to properly capture the beauty of their slightly irregular carved wood forms, with great creamy white paint worn away at corners and along sides, and those fantastic black dots that vary a bit in size from side to side and sometime come right up against the edges. Definitely old, and really sweet.
