AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Dalí chess and Javier Mariscal chess, designer of Cobi, the official mascot of the 1982 World Cup in Barcelona, in this chess represented by the knights
- Dalí chess: With all its pieces in perfect condition, nothing broken and barely any signs of wear, it comes with explanatory cards about the origin and meaning of each piece
The board is the original board from Javier Mariscal's chess and is completely new, still plastic-wrapped, although as can be seen in photos 91 and 92 it has a small, barely noticeable dent; overall it is in good condition with hardly any signs of use, as you can see in the photographs that form part of the description and that I ask you to view carefully
All the pieces represented in the Dalí chess have an explanatory card of the artwork represented by Salvador Dalí
