| A detailed close-up of a single animal astragalus bone, also known as a knucklebone or talus, resting on a dark, reflective wooden surface. The macro shot highlights the intricate, porous texture of the spongy bone at the ends and its natural off-white color. This object, often from a sheep or goat, was used in ancient times as a form of dice. The image is suitable for concepts related to anatomy, archaeology, veterinary science, paleontology, history, ancient games, and natural history collections. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
