Handmade two-sided backgammon set carved from a single piece of beech wood. It is a collector-quality board that looks as striking on display as it plays on game night.
One side shows an ornamental braid pattern with a tiger, a classic symbol of strength and courage. Turn the board over and the reverse is engraved with an eight-pointed octagram, a motif found in the art and culture of many peoples, and is designed for checkers (draughts).
