ITALIAN CHESS PIECES TEMPLARS

The pieces are made of polyresin. The hand-painted design makes them unique. King's size: 8.5 cm, base diameter: 2.5 cm. One of the most exciting and mysterious periods in history is the time of the numerous Crusades to the Holy Land in the Middle East. During this brutal period, the secret and enigmatic order of the holy knights — the Templars — was born. One of the longest-lasting secret orders of all time, the Templars were created to protect Christian pilgrims on their sacred journey to Jerusalem. There are also rumors that they discovered the Holy Grail — the legendary cup that contained the blood of Christ. Talented chess masters from Italfama in Florence, Italy, have created not only this incredible set of Templar knights but also an astonishingly detailed carved chessboard made from high-quality rubber. Please note that these pieces are hand-painted, so there may be slight variations in the level of detail and color, and they may differ slightly from what is shown in the image.
