Beautifully detailed figurative chess pieces from Studio Anne Carlton. This allegorical depiction encapsulates the ancient religious war that stretched over hundreds of years. These pieces portray specific crusades to restore Christian control of the Holy Land that were fought between 1095 & 1291. Fabricated from a crushed stone composite, the level of detail is simply staggering from every angle. Each colour depicts completely different figures
- Christian forces in white, Muslim warriors in dark brown.
With a king's base diameter of 1.4 inches these pieces could be combined with an 18-19 inch board. However, due to their height we suggest a 21 inch board to retain good proportions.
