On this handmade Georgian backgammon set the map sits in pale relief at the centre with its name lettered in Georgian, and then the border takes over: grapevines running the whole way round, blossoms opening between them, heavy clusters of grapes hanging where the vine turns. It is the richest frame in the Georgian range, and it is doing something specific — putting the country inside its own harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is not decoration for its own sake. Georgia has been making wine for eight thousand years, longer than anywhere on earth, and a Georgian will tell you so before the second toast. Carving the map into a wreath of vines is simply the truth arranged nicely. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is waiting for the part of the evening that follows the toasts. Carry this luxury backgammon set in by its cut-out handle and put it down where the table is longest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges, clasps and a cut-out carry handle\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: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid beech, with bronze hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe map of Georgia carved in pale relief with its name in Georgian script\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA full border of hand-carved grapevines, blossoms and grape clusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds shut on bronze hinges and travels by its own cut-out carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury Georgian backgammon board with the most generous carving in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift For the Head of the Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it to the person who makes the toasts — the one who can hold a room for four minutes and then sit straight back down and win three games.
