AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chess Camino de Santiago
This is a chess full of symbolism. The Way of St. James is one of Europe's oldest spiritual and cultural experiences. It is a network of medieval Christian pilgrimage routes leading to the tomb of the Apostle James, located in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
The pieces represent different symbols of the Camino de Santiago, with the pilgrim as pawns, the façade of the Cathedral of Santiago as the rook, the shell as the queen, and the shell itself as a pilgrim's tool for begging or collecting water. The entire path is marked with this symbol. They measure between 2.36 and 1.97 inches. Crafted with great detail, made of bronze and tin.
The board is made of wood, silkscreened with motifs of the Camino de Santiago, the cathedral, the pilgrim... It measures 40x40 cm.
An attached heavy metal antique chest for storing pieces, very beautiful, lined with red velvet and with an antique patina that gives the chess set character and solemnity. I cannot determine the type of metal it is made of; it could be Zinc, but I cannot be certain.
The chess set is in excellent condition. The chest shows the patina characteristic of the passage of time.
It is a collectible chess set that will surely be highly valued by anyone, of any nationality, who has completed the Camino de Santiago.
It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to protect it during transit, with a tracking number.
