Thought to be from Roman times this 12 sided object was unearthed recently in Lincolnshire but nobody knows exactly what it is.
Suggestions put forward include a spaghetti grader, am object for crocheting, something through which to align the.stars and an early Rubics Cube or even a dog treat dispenser.
Nobody knows for sure so be the first to nail it's use.

Fancy not knowing what that is! It's a oneofthem, of course.

 

[johnnyb47]

It looks like one of those Dog treats dispensers to me

Norton Disney Dodecahedron was first used as a corset grinder tool; from then on, it just became something that people wondered about and made suggestions on its use.

 

[PeteXXX]

It's a mine for model boats, obv!! 💣

An early children’s toy before they added in the square, triangle and star shapes.

 

[ianrauk]

It's one of those thingamibobs or even a watchamecallit.

 

[Dave 123]

It’s probably something out of the Betterware catalogue.

There was an example found in Germany with the signs of the zodiac distributed one on each face. So, the assumption is that it is something astronomical......or should that be astrological.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I reckon it is not complete

Possibly it originally had a wooden plug in each hole with a picture of - maybe - the Gods on each one
the bigger the hole, the bigger the plug and the more important the God

or maybe it was family members

or something

 

[johnnyb47]

Or maybe something from Ann Summers 😲

Spike Milligan reportedly once said that he wanted to be buried in a washing machine instead of a coffin "just to confuse the archaeologists".

You get all twelve of them, join them together and their use becomes clear.
