Manopoulos Archers Metal Chess Set With 44cm Chessboard

Metal archers chess set with gold and silver chessmen and 44 cm brown chessboard

On and off the battlefield, archery was a highly sought-after and valued skill. Archers, in addition to hunting, were legendary defenders of city walls and those who provided covering fire during battle. The twin gods Apollo and Artemis were masters of archery and patrons of archers. Philoctetes was one of the most famous archers, wielding the mythical bow of Hercules.

This period was characterized by fierce local and international wars. Their ferocity is symbolized by the aggressiveness of the Archer (pawn) and the Knight. The posture of the King and Queen shows their unquestionable leadership. The Bishop reveals that he is thinking about the upcoming battle. Finally, the castle is a reproduction of the pillar, a key symbol of the architectural style of the period.
