1960s Hand-Carved Bovine Bone Chess Set from Tarascan, Mexico

This vintage chess set, crafted in the 1960s in Tarascan, Mexico, features intricately hand-carved pieces made from bovine bone. The set includes light and dark pieces, each showcasing unique and ornate designs. The chessboard folds into a wooden storage box for convenience, making it both a functional and decorative collectible.

  • Material: Hand-carved bovine bone pieces.
  • Origin: Tarascan, Mexico, 1960s.
  • Condition: Good, with signs of use including scratches and scuffs. Age-appropriate wear is visible, particularly in the faded and worn felt lining inside the box. (3) pieces have been repaired, and (2) pieces are chipped, not glaring imperfections - but they are present.

A striking and collectible chess set that reflects expert craftsmanship and cultural heritage, perfect for display or use.
