Sven Hedin's collection includes two dice of bone. They represent two types, Pl. VIII, 10 in agreement with our modern cube-shaped dice, and Pl. VIII, 14 which is rectangular. Stein has reported several finds of the first-mentioned type from Mazar-Tagh and Endere. (Stein 1907, 1928) Marshall advises of some similar finds from old Indian culture (Marshall 1931). In Sven Hedin's collection there is also a die made of stone of the same kind as the ones of bone described above. Rectangualar dice are mentioned from India and China, and Stein reports a find from Lou-lan. The specimen here reproduced is of a peculiar kind. All four sides of the die are divided into four fields by carved lines, each field containing the same numeral designation. Probably the side with 4 dots was counted as 1, that with 8 as 2, etc. Hoernle describes an interestiing development of this type from the modern Kashmiris (Hoernle 1899, p. 44). Montell, 1938.Arkeologiskt föremål förvärvat i Borazan. Föremålen inköpta av Hedin från lokalbefolkningen. I brev hem av den 10 januari 1896 skriver Hedin: "Yesterday I visited the village of Borazan, where those remarkable Buddhist antiquities are found, but I made practically no discoveries. On the other hand the natives come along daily with their terracotta figures, pots, precious stones with engraved portraits, coins, Buddha images etc. ... and I have acquired a lot of these things cheaply enough. There is an old Tartar, of Orenburg, living here, by the name of Rafikoff, and he speaks Russian fluently. He has paid me several visits, and when I called upon him he presented me with a number of these antiquities." - cit Montell 1936 nr 7., (Datering 100-800 baserad på att en stor del av fynd från Khotan har daterats till denna tid, behöver inte vara korrekt för just detta föremål)., Montell1938, VIII:10, Montell, Gösta (1938) Sven Hedin’s archaeological collections from Khotan.
