Armenian Backgammon Set with Cross Ornament
Across Armenia, for more than a thousand years, faith has been carved rather than painted: the khachkar — the lace-carved cross-stone — is the country's signature art. This handmade Armenian backgammon set speaks that language. At the centre of the board a cross rises out of a knot of vine and geometry, wreathed in interlace the way the great cross-stones are.
It gives the game a different weight. Bring this hand-carved wooden backgammon board out and the room quiets a little — some boards entertain, this one means something. Then the bronze clasps open, the full 23.6" / 60 cm playing field appears, and nardi does what it has always done in Armenian homes: it brings everyone to the same table.

Why it stands out
The khachkar carver's rule is generosity — no empty ground, every surface given its share of pattern. Cut by hand into solid wood, this cross-and-interlace board carries quiet meaning as naturally as it carries the checkers. A deeply Armenian gift for a family that keeps its roots close.
