The history behind this the Lewis set is quite fascinating, The pieces belong to the Scandinavian world, which at this time the Hebrides were part of. Around the time the hoard of chess pieces was buried, Lewis belonged to the kingdom of Norway and the culture was a mix of Gaelic and Scandinavian. They were originally carved from Walrus Ivory nd were discovered in a sand bank in 1831.
