Description from the seller

The condition of this game is excellent, with some signs of aging and discoloration.
The wrought iron base was made around 1970 by a local blacksmith especially for this game; wrought iron in interior design was gaining popularity at that time. The game itself and the leather-covered board are about ten years older!
The theatrical pieces depict figures from the 16th century, the time of Philip II.
The game pieces are probably made of HDPE (High-density polyethylene), a plastic that was widely used over time. However, this does not explain why the white pieces are heavier than the black ones; they might be made of different materials. It has also been suggested that they could be a type of bone.
The board with the storage box is covered with treated leather and lined with a kind of velvet.
The size of the box is 48x48x5 cm. The height of the pieces can be seen in the photos.
The height of the base is approximately 72cm.
Weight of the base 7.1 kg, the box with the parts 4.3 kg.
