This ostrich egg on a wooden base is a reference to the cabinets of curiosity that emerged from the 16th century onwards. Because of the great voyages of discovery of that time, people came into contact with exotics, such as ostriches and ostrich eggs. Some were put up for display. Some examples were even mounted and modified into cups. A wonderful 16th century example can be found in the British museum.

In the past people were not afraid of a game. Before the use of plastic, many dice were made in bone. These bone dice have a point circle decoration. This way of applying dots was already in use by the Greeks and the Romans. Numerous archaeological finds show us that the technique was also used in the Middle Ages and in more recent times.
