Detailed Description

Features: The Pegasus Series weighted chess pieces offer a 4.6" King with a base diameter of 1.8" and all chess pieces are Triple Weighted. Each piece has thick green felt on the base.

Why Pegasus Series?

Pegasus, an immortal winged divine stallion, is one of the best-known creatures in Greek mythology. Winged horses like Pegasus have been used to symbolize freedom, power, and victory in many cultures. Pegasus is said to have sprung from the head of Medusa, a mythical Gorgon sister with hair of snakes and a stare that could turn a man to stone.

According to legend, everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring spring burst forth.

Our Pegasus knights in this set are inspired by the same Greek stallion. The mane of the knight depicts the folded wings of Pegasus. The flared nostrils of the knight represent Pegasus landing after a long flight.

Craftsmanship:

The lathe work on each chess piece is noteworthy, especially the curly rounded hairs of the knight. Look closely at the eyes, nostrils, teeth, and mane to appreciate the level of detail. Each chessman is handcrafted in India from the finest grade ebony wood and polished by hand for a rich, long-lasting shine.

Superb size proportioning from king to pawn showcases true intricate craftsmanship throughout. The design, quality, and craftsmanship of these chess pieces are comparable to luxury chess sets.

Weight: 4250 grams (149.91 oz). Please note the weight is added manually, so the final weight may vary by ±10%.

Uniformity of Pieces: The shapes of turned pieces are guided by metal profiles, ensuring all turned pieces—especially pawns—are identical. Expect some variation in the hand-carved knights.

Package Includes: 34 Chessmen (including 2 extra queens). Chess board is included in this sale.

Disclaimer: Product color may slightly vary due to photographic lighting or monitor settings.
