Description from the seller

This is the Egyptian chess set 'King Tutankhamun' by Franklin Mint. It is a collectible piece known for its elaborate design in the ancient Egyptian style.
The chess pieces are made of metal, intricately detailed, and heavily coated with 24-karat gold. The bases of the figures are hand-painted enamel in ivory and black. The playing field consists of rosewood and ebony.
The 32 chess pieces are inspired by images and artifacts from the Tutankhamun era, depicting pharaohs, Egyptian gods, and sacred objects.
The frame of the chessboard is made of hardwood and is supported by four gilded figures representing grave guardians.
The set features a removable, pyramid-shaped glass dome to protect the figures. Hieroglyphs are attached to the sides of the board.

{}
Decorative chess set themed around Egypt, featuring Pharaoh Tutankhamun, can be used both as a gift and for interior decoration. Figures, models, table or floor compositions are classic techniques for decorating rooms or hallways. When placed in the right spots, they can help create accents or highlight certain elements of interior design.
