The frame is carved in the workshop's classic outline — a deep dotted texture that catches the light, a scalloped edge around the squares, and small cast-bronze studs marking the ranks and files along the border. Slip it into a bag and it goes wherever the evening takes you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the bronze clasp and the same board becomes a handmade backgammon set: carved points, a carved wheel ornament in the centre of each half, and checkers in light and dark wood.

Every board passes through 14 stages of production, with 14 separate craftsmen leaving their mark before it reaches its finished form — a piece of wood artistry admired both in Armenia and around the world.
