    Tarascan Chessmen
    So-called Tarascan cut, as these sets are produced by Tarascan Indians from central Mexico up until 1944. The pieces are turned and fitted with carved bone finials glued to wooden stands, painted usually in red or black. The shape of the pieces is derived from the French St George bulbous form and merges Aztec and European art for forms. King’s height at 88mm. Source: chess-museum.com
