Ah hah. Prittlewell Prince Saxon burial (early med c.580) had these whalebone gaming pieces, found in close group so believed to have been hanging in a cloth bag. Also near a wooden gaming board, but 9 rather than your 10. Antler dice thought to indicate a game of chance.
Southend Museum. 🏺
add a skeleton here at some point
