With a name like The Cloisters one expects religious items to predominate, but there is more to see than icons, etc. This amazing game board really grabbed Mrs. W's attention and I realized that "If there were one thing you really could take home from here" that this would be her choice... probably mine as well. This is amber. Front and rear views and it seems to be a closed box with probably storage for game pieces or maybe other playing boards revealed when opened. Regardless; it's an amazing bit of work. The amber chess pieces do not go with the board, and the ivory pieces were included for contrast and to follow this theme. All I can say is "It must have been good to be the king." No postwork. Available light and available camera shake as is. Zoom, mes amis. Zoom. No squirrels in this gallery. Enjoy; thanks for viewing.
