{"product_id":"armenian-backgammon-board-with-carved-mount-ararat-personalized","title":"Classic Ararat Backgammon Set, 60 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 60 cm (about 24 in) format gives this classic backgammon set (nardi) a roomy board, carved out of one solid block of beech wood. Its engraving shows Mount Ararat, a national symbol of Armenia that many regard as a holy mountain. Of its two peaks, the greater is traditionally called Masis in Armenian and the smaller Sis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTradition holds that Noah’s Ark landed on Ararat once the Flood was over. The mountain stands in present-day Turkey, near the Armenian border, and is visible from Yerevan when the sky is clear. Beech is a hard, dense and hard-wearing wood, so the board suits daily games as well as display, and its playing field serves both long and short nardi, with draughts on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 60 x 60 x 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Engraved Mount Ararat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Varnished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Cast bronze hinges and locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 kg (7 kg packed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Hrachya Ohanyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 11257\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.
