Designed with the grandeur of marble, Gulam Rasool's exquisitely crafted chess set is truly timeless. The Indian artisan diligently carves the set by hand, using a black and white motif to create the board's trademark checkered pattern. House in a portable MDF box with iron-plated brass hardware, the board and pieces are cushioned by plush polyester velvet.

Precious piece and worried about arriving safe and sound. Relieved packaging was so secure took me removal of several layers of wrapping to get to box! Superb crafting of many elephants (my favorite creature) and love round design and substantial weight and size. Only disappointment is not off-white or ecru color as shown online, but a much darker brown or grayish shade. Nevertheless, love his work. Wish Gulam could bring back dyed/colored soapstone that he used to craft years ago. I have one of his pieces of a soapstone multi-colored elephant small box which I truly treasure.

Beautiful artwork and craftsmanship are words that do not adequately describe the amazing piece. I have more of these pieces, and this statement applies to them all. Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
