<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br> <br>A question from a German colleague.
<br>This object is 6,6 cm long, diameter of the shaft is 0,4 cm. The dice are
circa 0,6 x 0,7 cm. <br> <br>Has anyone of you seen such a piece before,
or has any other information? <br> <br>With best
wishes,<br>Marloes<br></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Bonetools
