Indian Rajasthan Sahib Bust Chess Set by Umesh Kansara, 2024
An Indian chess set designed and made by Umesh Kansara from Rajasthan. The pieces are made of camel bone in the style of a Sahib bust set. One side with dark blue decorations, the other with reddish-pink decorations. The king size is 7.3 cm. As common in traditional Indian style sets, the rooks are elephants, the knights are horses and the bishops are camels, the latter in a very unusual design, though. I came by the set by pure chance as Umesh was making some replacement parts for me and offered to include this chess set for a decent price. One could therefore say, I got it "en passant". A very decorative set!
