Group of Glass Astragaloi in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Group of glass astragaloi (knucklebones)
Greek, 3rd-2nd century BC
Accession Numbers: 17.194.565-.572
In antiquity, one of the most popular games of chance was played with astragaloi, knucklebones of sheep and goats. They could be used like dice or like jacks, thrown in the air and caught on the back of the hand. Knucklebones have been found in tombs where they must have been intended to help the deceased while away endless time.
