One looks left, one looks right, and they are stuck on the same body — which is either a design flaw or the most honest emblem any nation ever chose. On this handmade Russian backgammon set the double-headed eagle is hand-carved in fine relief inside a deep oval frame, wings spread to the edges of it, with carved scrollwork opening out around the frame and running to the border of the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has played nardy seriously will recognise the feeling. Halfway through a game you have two heads as well: the one that wants the safe point and the one that wants to run, both looking in opposite directions, both convinced. Unhook the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is waiting to settle the argument. This carved wooden backgammon board travels by its own cut-out handle, which means the argument can happen at somebody else's table too.\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 Russian double-headed eagle carved by hand in relief inside a deep oval frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrollwork cut across the lid right out to the carved border\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 clear, unmistakable centrepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift With Presence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the player who likes their equipment to look like it means business, or for the household where nardy has been a fixture for as long as anyone can remember.
