On this Armenian backgammon set he is carved mid-charge: horse rearing, cloak flying, sword up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the epic sits on UNESCO's heritage list and David stands in bronze in the middle of Yerevan. Put this handmade wooden backgammon board on your table and the story keeps travelling — with a full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field inside.\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: 30 x 60 cm \/ 11.8 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing surface: 60 x 60 cm \/ 23.6 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid beech 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\u003eThis is the full cinematic treatment of the hero: fine detail in the horse's musculature, the flying cloak, the sword.
