Handcrafted Egyptian Backgammon & Chess Board — Mother of Pearl Inlay (16.8 in)

This folding game board is handmade in Egypt by skilled artisans, crafted from solid beech wood and finished with natural mother of pearl inlay. Designed to function as both a backgammon and chess board, it blends precise craftsmanship with vibrant geometric design.

When opened, the interior reveals finely inlaid triangular points for backgammon play, arranged for clarity and balance. When closed, the exterior becomes a full chess board surface, featuring bold color accents and repeating patterns that give the piece a distinctive visual presence.

The set includes 30 matching backgammon checkers and dice, sized specifically to fit the board for comfortable gameplay. Subtle variations in wood grain and inlay reflect its handmade character.

Both practical and decorative, this board is ideal for play, display, or gifting.
