SKU# 4123000

A uniquely beautiful gift for that important chess player in your life. This special Traveler’s Find item features inlaid black and white kisii stone with hand-carved playing pieces. The safari chess pieces roaming the board are lions, lionesses, elephants, rhinos, donkeys, and antelopes. Elephants and antelopes decorate the borders of the board. Kisii soapstone, found only in Kenya, is a soft stone, easy to carve into many forms. Its satiny finish is achieved through multiple stages of sanding, followed by waxing. In some cases, as with this piece, artisans also apply color.
