{"product_id":"armenian-alphabet-backgammon-classic-set-wooden-personalized","title":"Armenian Alphabet Backgammon Set, 50 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur workshop carves this 50 cm (about 20 in) Armenian alphabet backgammon set (nardi) from a single piece of straight-grained beech, and it is one of the classic models in our range. Its engraving is the alphabet itself, created, according to tradition, by Mesrop Mashtots in 405.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe letters invite more than one reading: in a popular interpretation each stands for a word, and in sequence they form a prayer that opens with “Creator” and closes with “Christ”. UNESCO has inscribed Armenian letter art, from calligraphy to carpets, embroidery and jewellery, on its list of intangible cultural heritage. Played on regularly, whether for backgammon or for checkers on its back, the board keeps the alphabet in view of the whole family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 50 x 50 x 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Armenian alphabet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Natural beeswax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Cast bronze hinges and locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 kg (5.5 kg packed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Hrachya Ohanyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 11591\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 playing pieces in beech and walnut wood, each with a velvet-lined base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice made from billiard balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBranded carry case with wooden handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted from start to finish, each set is backed by a 25-year guarantee certificate.
