Lewis Chess King sits on your board with the carved, folk art look of the original Isle of Lewis chessmen. These pieces were found on the Isle of Lewis and date back to 1831, carved from whale tooth and walrus bone. This King brings that same worn, storied face to your own game table or shelf.
The design was modeled to follow the shape and expression of the historic piece, from the seated posture to the wide eyes and carved robe lines. You get a King with real presence, whether it stands in for gameplay or sits out as a small piece of history on display.
This listing is for the King piece only. It is made to order in the USA after you place your order, so you can add it to a shelf, a collection, or a chess set that could use one more strong piece on the board.
