Wooden Backgammon Pieces - Engraved Scorpion
Discover a set of handmade wooden backgammon pieces with a scorpion cut into the face of every checker. Each piece is turned from solid wood, hollowed to a shallow dish and engraved so the scorpion stands out against the recessed ground. Half the set is light wood, half is dark, and the grain runs differently through every one.
These are the checkers only, not a board. They come from the workshop of master Hrachya Ohanyan and arrive in a lined presentation box. Handmade in Armenia.

Why a Scorpion
The scorpion is patient. It waits, it does not chase, and it settles a matter in one move. Anyone who has sat across a nardi board from a player like that will know why it belongs on the checkers.
About the Artist

Hrachya Ohanyan is an Armenian master woodcarver who began his fine wood craft in 1985 and opened the Hrachya Ohanyan workshop in 2010. The workshop turns and engraves its own checkers for every board it makes, which is why these match a hand-carved set so well. See the boards in the Hrachya Ohanyan backgammon collection.
A Small Gift That Lands Well
