The 32 chess pieces are inspired by the figures from the Tutankhamun era. The metal chess pieces are beautifully detailed and heavy gold-plated with 24 carat gold. The pedestals are hand-painted enamel in the colours black and ivory. The chess pieces contain a protective top layer which ensures that no tarnish and/or discoloration can ever occur. The frame of the chessboard is made of hardwood, finished with black ebony accents, and held up by four holy guards of the tomb. These, too, are very detailed and gold-plated with 24 carat gold. Unfortunately, one guard once broke off, but this can simply be glued and does not take anything away from the beautiful appearance! On all sides, original Egyptian hieroglyphs are written which translate to 'Tutankhamun's chess set'. The playing field is made of ebony and rosewood. The chessboard measures 41 x 41 cm. Total height is 35 cm. The chess set is covered by a beautiful glass pyramid-shaped protective cover. with the exception of damage to one of the guards the board is in beautiful condition, with minimal signs of wear. The chess pieces are in a black cassette with foam protection.
