Vtg AFRICAN CHESS 1/2 Set EBONY ONLY Hand-carved PRIMITIVE WOODEN BOX Tribal Lot

  

LOT H: AFRICAN EBONY CHESS PIECES AND CARVED ZEBRAWOOD BOX. These were included in a large collection of African art: Dates and regions are unknown. I will assume that these 16 ebony figures represent 1/2 of an African Kingdom Chess: Each piece is hand-carved and though some resemble one another (hut-shaped "rooks", for instance), each is unique, nonetheless. This incomplete set was found in the carved wooden box, which coincidentally? Fits all the pieces neatly into about 1/2 the interior space...

THANKS FOR LOOKING GOOD LUCK. I DO NOT CLEAN VINTAGE ITEMS. While I often make an effort to minimize loose dirt & debris, please understand that dust, grime, pet hair, odors (and the ghosts of previous owners) may be present. But I try to be a good guy in all of my trading activities and if there's a problem of any kind, I encourage you to contact me. Soylent Green is made out of people.
