25 Schachfiguren, Schach, Spielfiguren

16. Jahrhundert (?)

The chessboard and pieces are made of ivory, horn and coral. They are similar to Arabian chess pieces, which in Western Europe could only be found in Spain since the 12th century. Maybe these ones here are copies of Antique Arabian originals which were especially made for a chamber of art and curiosities.
