Mongolian divination dice Shagai 4 pieces

Description: Mongolian divination dice Shagai Set of 4 bones. Mongolian Shagai Games Games traditionally played with animal bones can be found in history and today in cultures around the world. Among the semi-nomadic, animal herding cultures of Central Eurasia, there are a number of such games, usually played with sheep or goat anklebones. The Mongolian word for anklebone is shagai. Shagai is the Mongolian word for anklebone. It is also the name for a number of dice-like and fortune-telling games played with the anklebones of a sheep or a goat. Versions of these games are played all over Central Asia. In Kyrgyz, they are called chükö; in Kazakh, asyk; in Turkish, ashyk; and in Tajik, oshuq. In shagai, the rolled bones usually land on one of four sides. Each side is a different shape, and represents a different animal: camel, horse, sheep, or goat. Because of this, many of the games played involve chance and matching pairs and sets of these animals. Shagai are also used in fortune telling: different combinations of animals indicate a good or bad outcome. Used in games for thousands of years, shagai are one of the earliest forms of dice. Sometimes, the bones are painted bright colors. In Mongolia, they are sometimes carried in a small cloth pouch, and friends may exchange one shagai for another as a sign of their friendship. Divination In fortunetelling, four shagai are rolled on the ground; the two convex sides, horse and sheep, are considered lucky, with horse being the luckiest. The sides with concave indents, goat and camel, are deemed unlucky; rolling all four sides on one throw is considered indicative of very good fortune.
