What's it for!?

@Northwest This is one of the largest ever found so at 3 inches across strawberries aren't likely.

It wouldn't work for pasta as the holes on opposite sides are different sizes.

I'm completely intrigued by it...

@AntisocialTroll
It's not like they had pasta, but for measuring, it works, all you need is one hole.

@dirge Interesting.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout For docking what?

@AntisocialTroll

@OogieBoogie I'm loving that idea!

@Penny Can't see it myself...

@Ynotisay I love it both aesthetically and because no one knows what it is!

@looping Possible...

@Jlhzfromep I'm not convinced...

@AntisocialTroll hahaha

@SnailTeeth Must be a large leaf tea...

@AntisocialTroll Maybe it's a prototype for a fishing trap. It could just be art, it's nice to look at.

@Thodsis Whilst I can see that, I kinda doubt it because for its time it would be a very high status expensive item due to how it was made.

@AntisocialTroll Gambling on a game would have been a high status activity.

@Thodsis Yes but not high enough for an object such as this, only 33 have ever been found in the UK, if it were a gaming thing far more would've been found.

@BobbyMoeven For the tiniest cup ever?

@CountScrofula I'm fascinated by it!

@NudasPriest Or a girth gauge for ... something.

@AndysAttic A 3" head...

@AntisocialTroll I assume all the holes are different sizes? I haven't read the article, yet at least.

@NudasPriest It certainly looks like they're different sizes from the picture.

@NudasPriest The wiki article is even more interesting/intriguing, as well as the holes being different sizes there have been lots of different sized dodecahedrons found.

@BlueGreenGrey I'm pretty well convinced of ancient high technology. Precision stoneworks at Titticaca,Machu Pichu and pre-dynastic Egypt point to amazing tolerances unknown in modern construction.
Who's to say that highly evolved societies did or didn't rise/fall due to meteorite strikes or events like the Younger Dryas and then scattered survivors only had pieces of the grand designs...?

Or were these little brass orbs simply made to hold a fine matron's peacock feathers?
I can speculate all day. Pokemon relics fit the bill for me as well...

@dubkebab It never ceases to amaze just how advanced some societies were, imagine if the same people had access to the kinda of tech we have today, they'd be way ahead of us I'm sure.
