Description from the seller

Spectacular vintage medieval historical chess set with bronze/metal alloy figures representing "La Reconquista" and the clashes between Christian and Muslim troops of the Late Middle Ages during the Crusades. This lot includes a spectacular pyramid-shaped base structure made of various materials with raised-relief scenes on all sides. At the top there is a beautiful wooden board, which on one side serves as the chessboard and on the other side allows protecting the board. Additionally, the chess set includes a full set of 32 highly detailed metal pieces (the pawns of each side have their shields enamelled) representing the Christian and Muslim factions. These pieces range from 6.5 to 8 cm. The pieces are securely housed and arranged in a purpose-built display, and stored inside a larger outer structure. All of the set is in excellent condition. Ideal for collectors, as well as historians or chess enthusiasts.
