Luxury Egyptian Chess Set, Modular Board - Pharaohs Game 3D Model

The Pharaoh's Game is an Ancient Egyptian chess set in which every piece is a figure of the Egyptian court or pantheon: the Pharaoh as King, the Great Royal Wife as Queen, Thoth as Bishop, Anubis as Knight, a temple pylon as Rook and an ushabti as Pawn, each on a papyrus-bundle column with a carved hieroglyph drum. Six original piece designs make a full 32-piece set, completed by a modular 508 mm board with a carved hieroglyph border.
