Robin Hood Chess Set Pieces (Board Not Included) Overview

In this set, you have Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, a few less than a score of Merry Men, and their woodland retreat opposing the Sheriff of Nottingham, a few less than a score of his guards, several knights, and the Sheriff's own retreats, the two rook castles. Robin's army has a very green theme to it--which certainly matches the woods and history; the Sheriff has the colors of the affluent, red and black.

Isle of Lewis Celtic Chess Set (board & pieces) Overview

Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis (largest island of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland), the Isle of Lewis Chess Set is one of the most remarkable artifacts from the medieval age. Their discovery was quite by accident when a sand bank receded and revealed them. Their precise history and provenance in unknown but the pieces exhibit a Scandinavian workmanship with interlocking animal and floral patterns and compact figures dating back to the mid to late 12th century. The originals are a beloved and unusual set carved from walrus ivory housed in both the British Museum and the National Museum in Edinburgh.
