The King in Lewis Chess
Lewis chess pieces, also known as Uig chess pieces, are a unique set of 12th century chess pieces, as well as other game chess pieces, mostly carved from walrus teeth. These chess pieces were discovered in 1831 in the Outer Hebrides of Lewis, Scotland. When discovered, this collection contained 93 items: 78 chess pieces, 14 tables, and a belt buckle. Now, 82 chess pieces are owned and usually exhibited by the British Museum in London, and the remaining 11 are at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. This chess piece is now on display at the British Museum.
