Stag and Resting Doe Backgammon Set with Contour Outline by Hrachya Ohanyan
A stag stands with his antlers raised while a doe rests in the grass at his side, under leafy trees. This is the 60 cm / 23.6″ wooden backgammon set made by Hrachya Ohanyan in beech, with 32 checkers, a dice set and a branded carrying case.
This is the board for the cabin, the lodge and the player who would rather be out in the woods. The antlers stand clear of the background tine by tine, the doe turns her head toward the stag, and the trees behind them show every leaf. Around the deer scene a scale lattice and a dotted star pattern fill the lid right out to the shaped contour edge.
Open it and the field is warm brown, with pale carved points, a wheel ornament on each half and trays along the sides for the checkers. For a birthday, for Father's Day, or for the friend who knows every trail by heart.

Why You'll Love It
- Antlers that stand out: the stag's antlers rise clear of the ground, so they throw their own shadow in side light.
- A quiet scene: a stag on watch and a doe at rest, framed by trees and grass, the kind of picture you keep looking at between moves.
- Make it theirs: add a name or a date at checkout to mark a birthday, a retirement or years of games together.
Good to Know Before You Buy
Is the carving real? Yes. The stag and the doe, the trees, the lattice and the wheels inside are carved into the beech by hand. Nothing is printed, and the honey colour is a stain under the varnish.
What about shipping and returns? Shipping is free to the US, Canada and Europe, always tracked; other countries pay a flat $100 (Brazil, Chile and New Zealand $200). Every set is covered by our 30-day returns policy.
How do I look after it? Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. Wipe with a dry, soft cloth and store it closed in its carrying case.

Frequently asked questions
What products do you make?
Handmade chess sets, backgammon boards and chess tables, carved by hand in Armenia.
Are your products handmade?
Yes. Every piece is handmade and handcrafted for you in Armenia, most of them in master carver Hrachya Ohanyan's workshop in Yerevan. That is why each one takes 1–2 weeks to make.
Do you ship worldwide from Armenia?
Yes. Shipping is free to the US, Canada and all of Europe; other countries pay a flat $100 for tracked delivery, and Brazil, Chile and New Zealand pay $200, always tracked and insured. Every piece is handmade and handcrafted for you, so it takes 1–2 weeks to make. Delivery then takes about 7–9 business days to the US, Canada, Europe and the UK; other regions may take a little longer. Orders over $600 travel by express courier with signature. Tables go by insured furniture freight and arrive about 2–4 weeks after they are finished.
Will I pay customs duties?
