The corners of this board are cut away at angles so the whole silhouette changes, and the wide borders left behind are carved in a fine lattice with the coat of arms of Armenia inlaid at each end. It is the kind of Armenian chess set that gets picked up and turned round before anyone thinks about playing on it — and once you have seen the shape, an ordinary square board looks like it gave up early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe army is all wood: 32 pieces turned in walnut and oak, dark against pale, so the two sides read instantly without anything shiny competing with the carving. The playing field runs a full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm and the whole handmade chess set folds to half that width with the pieces packed inside. Big enough to host a proper game, sensible enough to put away afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve-sided folding chess board with brass fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 turned chess pieces in walnut and oak wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen board: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 23.6 x 11.8\" \/ 60 x 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid beech, walnut and oak wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA twelve-sided board — the shape is the whole design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Armenian coat of arms inlaid at both ends of the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine lattice carving across the full width of the borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalnut and oak pieces, two real woods rather than one stained two ways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Coat of Arms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eagle and a lion hold up a shield with Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark on it, quartered with the marks of four ancient Armenian dynasties.
