Medieval Chess Set

© Hawthorn Moulds Limited This richly carved set is based on a 14th Century German design.  The reverse side of the King's throne shows warriors; the Queen's throne ladies in waiting; and the Bishop's throne holy men & musicians.  The Rook shows the beginnings of the introduction of the castle into early European chess.  The king is approx 105 mm (4.1") tall and a full set requires approx 3 kg of cement.
