VIKING 'CYLINDERICAL' GAMING PIECE

Lead, 8.11 grams; 12.40 mm. Circa 8th - 10th Century. A Viking gaming piece in the shape of a cylinder, it was used in a game distantly related to chess called Hnefatafl, which translates into English as The King's Chequered Table. This Viking game was played between two players on a wooden board marked out into 121 equal squares. In the centre sits the King gaming piece signifying a castle. Around him are placed 12 defensive Hnefatafl gaming pieces. The attacking pieces are arranged around the edges of the board in formations of six on each side. The purpose of the game for the defence is to place the King gaming piece in one of the corner squares, which are also designated as castles and surround the Hnefatafl King on all four sides preventing him from moving. Ref: No examples of solid, cylinderical gaming pieces in Saxon and Viking artefacts by Nigel Mills. Very Fine condition. Ex. Derby collection.
