I don't have many Iron Age game pieces, so I hope you'll forgive the not very good photos. They're only small, about thumb-sized, and my camera's outdoor lens is not suited for inside.

The museum label just says "Gaming pieces, Tingwall". (Shetland Museum, Lerwick.)

Good morning from the #UK @Mudcake27 I love #NordicNoir have you tried #Icelandic #Noir? We saw Trapped https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3561180/
We only leave the house if we have to and then we wear#FFP3 (#N99) #masks. After over 4 years we are still determined never to catch #Covid. We don't watch a lot of #slowtv but enjoy All Aboard! The Sleigh Ride https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5280154/
We also like Alpenpanorama (3sat) and Webcams such as #Shetland. You can see the #Puffins here https://www.shetlandwebcams.com/cliff-cam-2/

My latest #Shetlandic discovery from my friend on #Shetland: Dallamist, fog which hangs in the valleys.

Dal would presumably be direct from #norn, meaning valley.
