The chess set is  representation of historical confrontation between French Christians in Southern Europe and Muslim Moors of Spain. The figures are said to be of fairly good historical resemblance. Each of the chess pieces is ( which by the way are fairly big, with both Kings over 26cm height) beautifully designed, hand crafted and signed by the sculptor.
