Luxury Walnut Backgammon Set - Mesrop Mashtots
Nations usually inherit their alphabets; Armenians can name the man who made theirs. Mesrop Mashtots holds the center of this luxury walnut backgammon set, master-carved in deep relief amid the letters he gave Armenia in 405 AD — the scholar and his life's work, together on one lid.
Letters are merciless to carve: every reader knows their exact shapes, so the chisel has no room to improvise. The master carver cut them anyway, crisp as print, around a portrait rendered with the patience of a scribe. A hand-carved wooden backgammon board that honors precision with precision.
Sixteen centuries later, his letters still carry every Armenian love note, epitaph and grocery list. Open this handmade backgammon set to its full 23.6" / 60 cm nardi field and add the small history of your own evenings — written, like everything Armenian, in Mashtots' hand.
