Sillver Chess Set: Silver Biblical Chess Set
This Biblical Silver Chess Set is a collector's item in every sense, the silver is coated over a synthetic mould, the gold colored squares are actually gilded silver giving the silver chess set the appearance of gold. This silver chess set is made like a game box, the silver chess pieces are places inside of the box. each piece has its own individual little slot for safe storage. around the outside of the game box is a thick silver ornamentation depicting the holy city
Jerusalem. The figures are very life like and very, very symbolic, Moses is the ruling king of the silver chess set with his set of commandments, the queen symbolizes Miriam the sister of Moses, she stands with her lyre ready to sing her victory song proclaiming the end of the game, the rooks are very finely crafted showing each individual crack
for every brick, they are patented after the castles that played an important role in the later history of Israel, the knights are camels, the banditos of the chess board, the bishop symbolizes the spies that went to spy out the land of Canaan carrying a large cluster of grapes, personally I think the bishop should have been Aaron the first high priest the brother of Moses, and the pawns are modeled after the famous Maccabi soldiers, always zealous and ready for battle, with fierce, intense loyalty. This Biblical silver chess set holds great historical meaning and symbols, Moses with the commandments, Miriam with her lyre, the spies with their grape cluster, and the camels the transported the children of Israel. it is a work of art, a complete masterpiece.There are very few silver chess sets available at this time, each one of these silver chess sets are handmade by a fellow in Israel, there are a few types available aside from the silver biblical chess set: View All Silver Chess Sets
