Mesrop Mashtots set the letters down in 405 AD; since then they have been cut into stone, written on parchment, hammered into metal, set in lead type, and lit up on screens. On the closed lid of this luxury walnut backgammon set they appear in the newest medium yet — every letter inlaid in vivid blue epoxy resin, glowing against the dark walnut like text on a lightbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the thing about a good alphabet: the shapes do not care what they are made of. A Yerevan schoolchild would read this lid instantly and never think twice about the resin. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is underneath, ready for a game that is older than the letters above it. At 6 kg \/ 13.2 lb this is a substantial wooden backgammon board, and the alphabet makes it the one people stop at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of dice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 30 x 60 cm \/ 11.8 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 60 x 60 cm \/ 23.6 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 kg \/ 13.2 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid walnut with blue epoxy resin, bronze hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe complete Armenian alphabet inlaid letter by letter in blue epoxy resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet into solid walnut, so the letters read like lit text against the dark wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 kg \/ 13.2 lb, with resin poured flush into the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury Armenian backgammon board that is a cultural keepsake and a working set at once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift For a Family That Reads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiaspora parents buy this kind of thing for a reason.
