Armenian Backgammon Set - Grand Medallion
This is the most heavily carved folding board in our ornament series, and it does not keep one face for show: both sides carry a grand medallion. On the front, a flower opens inside a laurel ring, four palmettes and four scrolled leaves radiating in deep relief. On the back, an interlaced knot turns the same circle into pure Armenian line-work. Around them run shield-shaped lattice panels and a carved egg-and-dart edge, so there is no angle without detail.
Open it and the mood turns from dark to light: the points rise in pale wood against an espresso field, each tipped with a small palmette, and a two-tone wheel rosette spins at the center of each half inside a ring of vines. Even the bronze hinges are engraved.

Why it stands out
Deep relief is slow work. The carver has to remove everything that is not pattern, then texture the ground point by point until the medallion floats above its own shadow. That is what you are paying for here, and it is why this board sits near the top of our wooden backgammon sets. The espresso varnish makes the high edges glow while the recesses stay almost black.
It plays as well as it poses: a smooth two-tone field, checker troughs carved along the sides, and a case that closes with bronze clasps. Hand-carved and varnished in Armenia. For the player who wants the room to go quiet when the board comes out.
