Do you play chess? I love it, but well, I'm not really getting better. I sketched this years ago, but inked it this year.

❗️Notice the Selenus chessmen❗️
Any other examples known before 1616? I. e. before the chess book of Augustus II (1579–1666) = Gustavus Selenus?

This chess piece was found in an excavation in our back yard. It's 1 of only about 50 #medieval chess pieces found in England &, at only 21.7mm high, it is unique in being the smallest medieval #arabic #ChessPiece known in the country. #WallingfordUK #Oxfordshire #Chess
