The shield on this handmade Armenian backgammon set is quartered for the four royal houses that ruled historic Armenia — Artaxiad, Arsacid, Bagratid, Rubenid — with Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark at the centre, and the eagle and lion holding it all up. Three thousand years of history, carved by hand into one board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes this less a decoration than a family tree for an entire nation. As an Armenian backgammon board it plays the way the symbol deserves: solidly, beautifully, in company. Open the bronze clasps, lay out the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm nardi field, and give the next generation a reason to ask what the four quarters mean — the answer takes exactly one game to tell.\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\u003eDice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 11.8 x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 11 lb \/ 5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid beech wood with 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\u003cp\u003eHeraldry is precision work: four distinct dynastic emblems, a mountain, an ark and two beasts, each carved clean at this scale.
