The spirit of the Crusaders is captured in this chess table. The Knight is clad in armor, carries aloft a Norman sword and is protected by a 13th Century shield exhibiting the cross of the Crusades. Below him is a European castle, while the corners display the fleur-de-lis and the Cross of the crusades.
The Saracen warrior wears light armor, carries a scimitar and is protected by a round shield decorated with the crescent moon and star, the symbol of Islam. Below him is the City of Jerusalem.
The corners reveal crossed scimitars and the crescent moon and star. The entire design is unified by a border of ivy.
