{"product_id":"georgian-cross-carved-backgammon-board","title":"Georgian Walnut Backgammon Set - Five Cross Flag","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGeorgian Walnut Backgammon Set - Five Cross Flag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cross belongs to Georgia. The fruit belongs to the whole Caucasus. On this handmade Georgian backgammon set the five-fold cross of the national flag is carved deep into solid walnut at the centre, and around it the carver has run vines, grape clusters and pomegranates — the harvest symbols you will find on both sides of every border in this part of the world, cut here into braided frames that run right to the edge of the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat combination says something true about the region: the emblems differ and the tables do not. Walnut suits it — dark, close-grained, the wood masters keep for their best work, and deep enough to hold relief that still reads clearly ten years from now. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is where the shared part happens: two people, a pair of dice, and an argument that would sound exactly the same in either language. Carry this luxury walnut backgammon board in by its cut-out handle and put it where the food is.\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 walnut, 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 five-fold cross of the Georgian flag carved deep into solid walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVines, grapes and pomegranates cut around it inside braided frames\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 in the wood reserved for the workshop's best work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift For a Long Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring it to a supra and it will not go home with you.
