Hand-carved by the master artisan Hrachya Ohanyan, this set features a breathtaking 3D depiction of the 13th-century Gandzasar Monastery. This Classic Two-Sided Edition is unique because it features intricate hand-carvings on both the front and back of the board, making it a complete sculptural masterpiece from every angle.

Carrying Bag
Crafted from premium, seasoned solid wood, this heavy-duty board is designed for those who carry the history of Artsakh in their hearts. The exterior relief work captures the monastery’s famous 16-faceted dome and the intricate cross-stone (khachkar) motifs that adorn its walls. Because it is two-sided, the reverse side also features traditional Armenian ornamentation, ensuring the board looks like a museum piece whether open or closed. Inside, the board unfolds to reveal a professional-grade playing field with a mirror-polished finish, ensuring checkers glide with effortless precision. This set is a timeless heirloom, preserving the architectural soul of Gandzasar for generations to come.
