Some pieces are detailed, others are simply abstract. Their relations seem horribly weak. Connecting the "historic piece" to what the role of the chess piece is would have been much stronger and more interesting. It seems like their was an effort to represent the pieces accurately until you see the AK-47 and wonder why it looks like a child's toy. At least their was an effort to have traditional carvers in India to carve these the right way, under child labor. Thank goodness for children. What a conflicted and strange collection of nonsense.
