5.5" Handmade wood abstract artistic chess set in wooden box

Handmade reproduction inspired by Max Ernst chess set.

Painter and sculptor Max Ernst designed this set for The Imagery of Chess exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1944–45. It is distinctive in that the queen, by far the most important piece in the game, tops the king in height; traditionally the king is the tallest piece.
