Hand Carved Chess Set
Here is a very unique round hand carved chess set. Carved by a local tribe of Nanyuki in Kenya, the board is carved out of dark wood using traditional methods inlaid with light wood and the surround is adorned with animals often seen on the Kenyan plains. The playing pieces are made up of marabou storks for the pawns and various other tribal figures making up the king, queen, bishops and knights and giraffes as rooks. All the White Chessman are hand carved from solid light wood and the Black Chessman are hand carved from a dark wood and all wonderfully finished. This would make a wonderful gift for any chess fan and a must have for any enthusiast. Alternatively it could just be a wonderful focal piece and talking point for any room.
