AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An extraordinary themed collector’s chess set inspired by Xunta de Galicia and the historic pilgrimage route El Camino de Santiago.
This is not a standard chess set — each piece is a miniature sculpture representing medieval figures, clergy, knights, pilgrims, and architectural towers linked to the cultural heritage of Galicia and Santiago de Compostela.
Every piece is individually cast with remarkable depth and texture, giving the set the look and feel of historical bronze statuary. The board features a unique printed design incorporating maps and routes of the Camino, making it both a playable chess set and a conversation piece.
A rare combination of history, art, and strategy.

Board: 30 × 30 cm
Piece height: approx. 5 – 7 cm
Metal pieces and the plastic storage can be used as board.

Piece is in excellent condition.
