Is there any object that has changed less in the last 4000 years than a gaming die? There's an astonishingly human and above all social story around that profound survival.
This terracotta die comes from the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, one of the first urban centres in human history 🎲⠀

Gaming with dice has been a popular pastime in India for millennia, with this object dating back to 2500–1900 BCE.
