East Indian Chessmen Pieces Chess Set

#SA008

Maharajah's, their advisors, and support guard face off in this theme set from the land of India! Bright colors, characteristic dress, and authentic weapons display some fine qualities from this remarkable chess set. The Maharajah rides in his awning covered booth, atop his war elephant; advisors surround him, likewise mounted on war elephants. Then, looking at the knights, we have nobly mounted sword bearing officers, probably the honor guard to the rajah. Rounding out the rear ranks with the rooks, there are the unusual camel-mounted soldiers. The rifle armed front ranks show a discipline and determination to face and beat all odds! From a period of transition in the land of India, this set comes from the time after the British influence was felt, yet far before modern times. Plastic resin, hand painted, and non-weighted--these chessmen are 2" at their base, and the kings are 4" tall.

Southeast Asia's brightly colored culture is represented in the Indian set with its various mounted calvary and soldiers guarding the swami and his advisors.

This is such a beautiful set that, even when you are not playing, it deserves to be left out.

Some of our chess sets (like this one) do not come with a board on the theory that you should not be forced to buy a board if you already have one.

So, we give the choice. You can use your original board, or purchase one of the boards from the pictures. We believe these boards match the item

selling very well.  These are fine painted pieces. A great item for a collection or a perfect gift for any occassion.
