This set of Egyptian Chess is a signature chess set at Henry Le Design. This is a specially designed and chiseled chess set as the Kings, Queens, Knights, Bishop, Rooks, and Pawns are inspired by Ancient Egypt. Each chess piece is manually chiseled with sophistication and calculated to match the chess board and the passage throughout the dynasties of the Egyptian pharaohs. The combination of maple and ebony creates two sides of the board that are not too contrasting in color but are subtle enough to differentiate between the parmesan yellow of the maple and the black of the ebony. The chess pieces on both sides are beautifully crafted. This is a collectible and unique chess set, different from the usual traditional chess set. The Ancient Egyptian chess board was designed with chess pieces to create harmony and transparency between the chess board and the pieces. However, this set of chess pieces can also be displayed with chess boards such as 3D Chess Board, Chic Chess Board, or a popular chess board.

The King
In the annals of ancient Egypt, Ramesses II stands as a titan of power and grandeur. His reign left an indelible mark on the landscape of the land of the Nile. From the majestic temples of Luxor and Karnak to the awe-inspiring statues of Abu Simbel, his name echoed through the stone monuments of the kingdom. Ramsesses’ ambition knew no bounds, and his inscriptions proclaimed his might from the vast deserts to the fertile Nile delta. No ancient site was untouched by his legacy, solidifying his status as a pharaoh of unparalleled influence. His name, synonymous with greatness, remains a testament to the enduring legacy of a ruler who shaped the destiny of Egypt.
The Queen
Queen Nefertari, of the renowned 19th Dynasty, is revered as one of ancient Egypt’s most celebrated queens. As the beloved wife of Pharaoh Ramses II, she captivated hearts with her beauty and regal presence. Nefertari’s influence extended beyond her role as queen, as she actively participated in religious affairs and played a crucial diplomatic role. Her enduring legacy is epitomized by the iconic Temple of Nefertari at Abu Simbel, a testament to her divine status and the profound impact she had on Egyptian history.
The Bishop
Amun-Ra, the mighty ancient Egyptian god, held unrivaled power and significance. From the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman era, his cult spread far and wide, extending even to Babylon, Assyria, and beyond. The cult of Amun-Ra stood as the most powerful and popular in Egypt for centuries, with temples like Karnak exemplifying his influence. As the patron deity of pharaohs, Amun-Ra symbolized divine rule and left an enduring legacy on ancient Egyptian culture.
The Knight
Anubis, the god of the dead in Egyptian mythology, was associated with embalming and mummification. Often depicted as a seated black dog or a jackal-headed man, he guarded the necropolis and ensured the protection of the deceased. Anubis, the divine arbiter, measured hearts and judged souls in the presence of Thoth and Osiris, upholding truth and balance in the afterlife.
The Rook
Obelisks were an integral part of Egyptian pyramid complexes, imbuing them with symbolism, power, and a connection to the divine. These majestic structures, standing tall and proud, evoked awe and wonder, leaving an indelible mark on the ancient Egyptian landscape and culture.
Obelisks can be found in various countries worldwide, not just in ancient Egypt. Rome, Italy, has notable examples brought from Egypt during the Roman Empire. Other countries, including France and the United States, feature obelisks as architectural or commemorative monuments, symbolizing power and cultural exchange.
The Pawn
In the depths of the 7th century BC, the mighty kingdom of Egypt faced an agonizing conquest. Its cities lay in ruins, its sacred temples reduced to ashes, and its people, forsaken and shattered. But from the heart of despair, a vow thundered through the soul of the Pharaoh, resolute to restore the glory of his land. Emerging from the smoldering embers, a valiant army took shape, ignited by an unyielding fury that blazed across the ancient sands.
