Overview
Made from walrus ivory some time between AD 1150 and 1200; the Lewis Chessmen are iconic artefacts from the early medieval period. This concise book provides a guide to the history of these chess pieces including the story of their discovery in 1831; followed by skulduggery; deception and controversy as they were sold off to various parties including the British Museum; where most of them are found today. Issues of the raw materials used; the skill of the craftsmen; their place of origin; stylistic features are placed within the context of the game of chess in medieval Europe.
