Description from the seller
Elegant handmade walnut wood game box, crafted with care, featuring a stunning natural grain and numerous decorative brass details worked and applied by hand.
On the lid there is a large game card made in brass, engraved, while inside you discover an elegant Masonic symbol of the Square and Compasses with the letter G, discreetly inserted and visible only when the box is opened.
The overall design evokes the world of traditional gaming, symbolism, and artistic craftsmanship, making this item particularly interesting both as a decorative element and as a collectible piece.
Contents of the set
- The set includes a total of 27 pieces:
- 21 domino tiles
- 5 large wooden dice with numbers set in brass
- 1 deck of plastic cards with an Egyptian theme
Workmanship
Each element has been crafted with particular attention to detail.
The domino tiles are built one by one in wood and hand-finished with blue-painted brass inlays.
The dice are made of solid wood and feature numbers inset in brass, individually set.
The lid is decorated with an engraved brass game card.
The walnut wood has been carefully sanded and polished, highlighting the splendid natural grain that makes each piece unique.
Masonic Symbolism
Inside the lid, the famous Square and Compasses symbol with the letter G is revealed.
In Masonic tradition, the Square represents moral uprightness, while the Compasses symbolize measure, balance, and the pursuit of inner perfection. The letter G is traditionally associated with Geometry and the Great Architect of the Universe.
Egyptian-Themed Cards
The included deck features artwork inspired by ancient Egypt, with depictions of pharaohs, scarabs, sacred symbols, and the Eye of Horus.
Egyptian iconography has long been associated with knowledge, the mysteries of antiquity, and initiation traditions, creating a fascinating link with the symbolism present in the box.
