The exterior features a stunning 3D depiction of the 4th-century cathedral, while the internal playing field is enhanced with expert incrustation. This technique involves embedding contrasting wood types directly into the surface to create the pips and ornamental details, ensuring a perfectly flush, snag-free finish that will never fade or wear away. With a mirror-polished internal surface, your checkers will glide with professional-grade precision. This set is a timeless heirloom, embodying the sanctity of Etchmiadzin and the highest level of Armenian craftsmanship.
