Description
Bring historical authenticity and raw beauty to your tabletop with this handcrafted set of six Buffalo Horn Dice. Carved from real, ethically sourced buffalo horn, each die is polished to a smooth satin sheen that showcases its naturally varied grain and tone—from smoky streaks to dark marbled hues. No two are the same, echoing the individuality of the players who once cast similar dice in mead halls, camps, and medieval courts.
Each cube measures approximately 1.4 cm and features inlaid white pips that stand out beautifully against the darker background. The hand-rounded edges ensure a satisfying roll, while the slight weight of the horn gives them a tactile presence absent in synthetic dice. Whether for tabletop RPGs, board games, or as collector’s items, these dice offer a perfect balance between usability and heritage.
Historically, horn dice were used for both gaming and divination in ancient Europe and Asia. From Viking longships to medieval firesides, they were more than playthings—they were storytelling tools and moments of chance. These modern replicas continue that legacy, bringing history into your hand.
Packaged in a soft drawstring pouch, they’re ready for use or display. Ideal for gifting, collecting, or adding to your historical game kit.
