Backgammon Set Hand Carved - Samson Defeats the Lion

Of all the scenes a carver can choose, this hand-carved wooden backgammon set takes on one of the oldest: Samson meeting the lion bare-handed. The struggle is caught mid-motion in bold relief — muscle, mane and grip — inside a frame of scrollwork that keeps all that drama composed. It is a backgammon board with a story older than the game itself.

And there is something right about playing over a scene like this. Backgammon is the game where strength meets whatever the dice decide — you take what comes and make it yours, the way the old story promises that out of the strong comes something sweet. This handmade backgammon set gives your table that kind of presence: guests ask about the carving first, then stay for the rematch. Inside is a full 23.6" / 60 cm playing field.
