The eternity sign is carved deep at the middle of the board, ringed by ornaments, and from it panels of glossy blue epoxy resin fan outward like rays — so the oldest symbol Armenians have appears to be the source of all the colour rather than a decoration sitting on top of it. Zigzag carving and carved spiral corners close the case at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a bold way to treat the arevakhach, and it works because the symbol can take it. The sign has meant continuity for well over a thousand years; putting it at the centre of something jewel-bright and modern says that continuity is not the same as being old-fashioned. The blue is marbled rather than flat, so it moves as you move, and the carved wood around it stays matte and quiet by contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the clasps, let the hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is inside. This is a luxury backgammon set that genuinely works both ways — as good closed on a shelf, where the blue does its work from across the room, as it is open on a table with the checkers out and somebody complaining about the dice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with brass fittings, hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 wooden checkers\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 and walnut with blue epoxy resin\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\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe eternity sign carved deep at the centre with blue resin panels fanning out around it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarbled resin that shifts as you move, against matte carved wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZigzag carving and carved spiral corners framing the case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury Armenian backgammon board that works closed on a shelf and open on a table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift That Means Continuity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arevakhach is what Armenians carve when they mean something lasts.
