Barley Corn Hand Carved Camel Bone Chess Pieces

These amazing chess pieces have been crafted from camel bone in the style of the pre Staunton Barley Corn design. A rare and collectable set that has been painstakingly crafted from sterile bone pieces. Each piece has a removable lid that reveals a cavity inside for the storage of small trinkets, coins or jewelery. The chessmen are naturally heavy due to the material used and have been felted on their bases. Despite the highly ornate nature of these chess pieces they are still very practical to use for a game of chess.
