This handmade ceramic Celtic Chess Set is inspired by Fidchell, an ancient Irish board game associated with myth and early Irish tradition. The four corner squares represent the four provinces of Ireland, while the centre square represents Meath and the High King at Tara. The High King has eight defenders and faces twelve attackers. The aim is for the High King to reach one of the four province squares without being captured. Instructions for play are included. The board measures approximately 21.5 x 29 cm. Pieces measure approximately 3 cm, with the King at approximately 4 cm. Handmade by O'Gowna Studios in Co. Dublin from cold cast porcelain, with slight visual variations possible between sets.
