26x Antique Napoleonic War Prisoner of War Carved Bovine Bone Dominoes Set

Rare Antique Napoleonic War Prisoner of War Dominoes Set (26 Pieces)

Discover a rare and historically significant set of antique dominoes, believed to originate from the Napoleonic Wars around the 1820s. These unique pieces are carved from bovine bone, likely crafted by French prisoners of war using bones from their rations. They were often sold to visitors and passers-by for small amounts, making them highly collectible relics.

• Quantity: This set includes 26 individual domino pieces. Please note that a full standard set typically contains 28 pieces, so this is an incomplete set.
• Material: Crafted from bone deriving from a Bos Taurus (cattle).
• Authenticity: Identified as probably dating to the 1820s.
• Includes: Presented with a nice little hardwood storage box.

The small size of these dominoes can be judged by the inclusion of a £1 coin in the photographs, providing a clear visual reference for scale.
