Meticulously detailed figurative chess pieces from Studio Anne Carlton. Richard the Lionheart (Cœur de Lion) was a historically important English King, military leader & warrior from the Middle ages. These bust figurines are fabricated from a crushed stone composite & are hand painted with staggering attention to detail. With a king's base diameter of 1.6 inches these pieces could be combined with an 19 inch board. However, due to their height we suggest a 21 inch board to retain good proportions.
