About the Item

An extraordinary Alexandra Llewellyn design in wood marquetry that offers an exciting new way to play this timeless game, our circular Zodiac board reimagines the traditional backgammon layout, which has been rectangular for more than 5,000 years. Mirroring the sun and moon orbiting the stars, the semi-precious playing pieces include carved cabochons of Carnelian, a glassy, translucent orange stone, alongside cast solid silver pieces that resemble the cratered surface of the moon. Delicate silver wire is coaxed into different shapes to form the 12 astrological constellations, accompanied by mother of pearl points, and inlaid by hand into the blue ripple sycamore.
