    Description

    Handmade folk art chess set from Africa.  Purchased from a village in Cameroon during a local film shoot in the 70's .  The pieces (32) are lightweight but not uniform like a typical chess board.  The board is burlap covered wood as are most figures.  It is a unique piece of art and makes a great display for collectors of interesting folk art.
