Viking with sword and shield, Lewis, made of artificial stone
Viking / Lewis Chessman
In 1831, 78 chess pieces were discovered on the shore of the Scottish Isle of Lewis.
The originals are mostly carved from walrus ivory and likely originated in Trondheim (Norway), dating from 1150-1200 AD.
Most of the pieces can be admired today at the British Museum in London, while the others are housed in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
A warrior or berserker standing, he carries a sword on his right side and a shield on his left side.
The figure is a replica modeled after the original.
