Reference: S144: Rare Small Vintage Mongolian chess set hand carved from Agalmatolite stone,
in light gray and red tones with matching board.
This charming set features queens as Foo dogs and Bactrian camels as bishops, kings as seated priests, rooks as Buddhist crosses and pawns as lions.
The carving quality is even more impressive given the size of the set, color of stone varies a lot based on lighting.
Seated priests are 5.5cms tall and the board is 29.5 x 29.5cms
Here is a related but smaller set that sold at Christies sometime ago.
