Light brown wood and dark, cracked resin compose this upright oval gambling die. In the center, two red-and-white beads mimic eyes embedded in the resin. Below them, an iridescent white triangle sits above a white ring-shaped bead, creating a face-like arrangement. A vertical groove is carved into the shell's crown. The composition balances a smooth, polished exterior against the dark, fractured interior of the hollow core.
