{"product_id":"tiger-carved-backgammon-board","title":"Backgammon Set Carved Tiger","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBackgammon Set Carved Tiger\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything on this lid is moving except the tiger. Swirling clouds and scrollwork churn around the centre of this handmade wooden backgammon set, cut deep by hand, and in the middle of all that motion the tiger's head sits perfectly still and looks straight out at you. A braided border closes the whole thing in. It is an old trick and a good one — the calm thing at the centre of a busy field is always what the eye lands on first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will recognise the type across a table. Every circle has one player who does not fidget, does not comment, and does not appear to be doing much at all until the position quietly turns out to be theirs. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and there is the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field where that gets settled. Carry this hand-carved backgammon board in by its cut-out handle, set it down between two chairs, and let the tiger watch the dice do all the running about.\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 tiger's head carved by hand in deep relief, still at the centre of moving cloudwork\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 real presence on a table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift With Some Nerve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the player who takes the game seriously and would never say so.
