That is the expression the carver has caught on this hand-carved wooden backgammon set — the animal set inside a deep oval frame at the centre of the lid, ears tufted, gaze level, entirely unbothered and entirely aware. Flowing scrollwork opens out around the frame and a braided border closes the composition at the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are still out there in the Caucasus forests, incidentally, and almost nobody ever sees one. That is rather the point of the animal: it notices everything and gets noticed by nothing. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field belongs to whoever plays the same way — the one who says little, watches the blots pile up, and takes the whole game in two quiet moves. Carry this handmade backgammon board in by its cut-out handle and set it down.\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\u003eA watchful lynx carved by hand in relief inside a deep oval frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrollwork and a braided border worked right around the lid\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 handmade wooden backgammon board with one of the Caucasus forests' rarest residents on it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift For the Quiet One\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery circle of players has someone who barely speaks and wins more than their share.
