The Ancient Egypt themed chess pieces are a truly striking addition to any collection. Upon opening the box, one is immediately captivated by their luxurious and exclusive appearance, with both sides adorned in intricate gold and black designs inspired by ancient Egyptian artefacts.

The king is instantly recognisable with his iconic headdress, known as the Nemes, which was used for various occasions and is typically associated with this era. The queen, with her elegant headdress and poised pose, exudes a regal aura that is synonymous with this time period.

The Falcon serves as the bishop, representing Horus, the deity of the heavens and royalty, often depicted as a man with a falcon's head. The knight is symbolised by a cat, highly revered during this historic period for its prowess in pest control and snake-killing, evoking grace and composure. Rooks take the form of obelisks, prominent in Egyptian architecture and customarily built in pairs at temple entrances. Completing the Ancient Egyptian lineup is the iconic Anubis, God of Death and Funerals, embodying the perfect pawn in this truly exquisite set of chess pieces.
