Gaming Die

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cylindrical Gaming Die by artist Charles Loloma. The die is made from light-brown stone or wood. It has a rounded rectangular shape with rounded edges. The die features six spiral designs etched into it, with two on each long side and one on each short end. The spiral designs have a small dot in the center and are outlined with a darker line. A small crack or chip is visible on the top surface. The background is a gradient gray color, transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left of the die.
