Wooden carved chess set "Peoples of the North" on an oak board

The chess set dedicated to the peoples of the North is not just a game, but a cultural artifact that conveys the spirit of Arctic civilization in an exquisitely carved wooden form. Each figure is made of solid wood: warm acacia for the light side, noble black walnut for the dark side. The proportions of the figures are perfect: expressive plastic, large size and precise images make it easy to distinguish the figures on the field without losing aesthetic pleasure. In these chess games, it's not just elephants and queens — shamans, hunters, bears and reindeer appear in front of the viewer, as if they stepped out of the illustrations to the epic about life in permafrost.

The playing field is handmade from oak wood, symbolizing reliability and strength. Contrasting colors — alternating veneer of American walnut and maple — gives the board visual clarity, emphasizing the rhythm of the game and facilitating the perception of the game. The size of the board — 56 by 56 centimeters — provides a spacious field for maneuvers. Each square is strictly aligned, the 65 mm squares allow the figures to stand with dignity without cluttering up the adjacent rows. A coordinate grid is engraved along the edge, referring to the chess tradition and simplifying the conduct of an analytical game.

The box of the board opens, revealing an inner velvet base with separate recesses for each figure. The soft velvety fabric in a dark blue shade highlights the richness of the wood texture and protects the sculptural miniatures from external influences. This set is addressed to those who know how to appreciate the game as a form of communication and art, to those who are looking not for another souvenir, but for an object of power, beauty and meaning.
