Hidden away in a tray of 19th-century toys and games I spotted these medieval tablemen/playing pieces from Forfar, Kirkwall and Lour. I am photographing objects like these to be made available online shortly on the @NtlMuseumsScot catalogue

These gorgeous tiny glass gaming counters from a group of 24 (6 white, 6 green, 6 yellow, 6 red) were found in a Late Iron Age grave at Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire in 1965 😍

Sadly the rules of the game are now lost
