| Description |
English: A lacquered Chinese liubo ("Six-Stick [Game]") board game set excavated from Tomb No. 3 of Mawangdui, Changsha Prefecture, Hunan Province, China, dated to the 2nd century BC during the Western Han Dynasty. Height: 17 cm. Side Lengths: 45 cm. This set includes a "TLV" liubo board, 6 black and 6 white rectangular liubo pieces (normally played lying down and turned up if they become "owls"), 42 counters, 20 "game pieces", an ivory scraper, a knife, and an 18-sided dice with its sides labelled 1–16 and two characters meaning "win" and "lose". The 18-sided dice corresponds to another elsewhere used for a separate game, which may be what the 20 "game pieces" are intended for. |
