- Chess Egg -
I acquired an egg with miniature chess set from the eBay seller Carolynaz. I would recommend that seller. She made the egg herself in 2006. It is a cut and painted goose egg decorated with various findings, rhinestones, and a lady cameo. Inside is a doll-house-sized chess set. The set itself is a unique simple design without even figural knights. It could be a Muslim set for its lack of representation, and actually resembles some Turkish ivory Muslim sets in shape. The problem I have with this egg is the pieces are incredibly difficult to set up and to move. Tweezers are a must.
A decorated goose egg.
Tiny chess set inside.
Sparkle, sparkle.
A position from the Marshall Attack in the Spanish Game... was quite a pain to set up with such small pieces.
The pieces are a simple turned design.
