the hollow bronze things with the studs?

probably not some for of die- divination or otherwise. They just wouldn't roll well. There's a few uses for those things that seem likely. Rangefinding (mount it on a staff and peep through the holes, , some sort of symbolic use, or simply just being some sort of decorative weirdness.
