Full-size!! handmade reproduction Man Ray chess set.
It is the first modern set consisting of all the abstract geometric forms. It was created by the American Dada-Surrealist artist Man Ray in 1920.
Each chess pieces is represented by an abstract geometric form with a deliberate meaning behind it. The kings are pyramids – the Egyptian symbol of kings. The queens are cones, nicely complementing the king’s pyramid, and representing the headpieces worn by medieval queens. The bishops are represented by a type of drinkware called flagons, representing the tradition of bishops concocting their own liqueurs and spirits. The rooks are large cubes, and each pawn is a sphere atop a base. The knights are fashioned to look like the scroll of a violin.
