Up for auction today is this lovely Tunisian Chess set. The board and the pieces are olive wood . It is handmade , the pieces are individually hand carved-- a truly stunning twist on the usual black-and-white chess set!! Sure to become the focal point wherever you put it. Just look at the fine workmanship that went into the carving of each square on the board, and each individual game piece! A handy feature are the two little drawers on opposite ends of the board for times when the game stretches on for days and you don't want to lose your opponents pieces that you won.
Very exquisite!
Whether carved, inlaid or otherwise textured, Tunisian artifacts are always exquisitely unique!Great size, great for kids to learn the game . Measurements are approximate, as the wood is irregular and not two are alike :
