Tutankhamon's Tomb Chess Set

By Franklin Mint. Beautiful. Never played with. Always on Display. With Dust Cover. "It began over three thousand years ago, in ancient Egypt's Valley of the Kings, where a great pharaoh died at the tender age of 18--and with him was laid to rest the treasures of his kingdom, many made entirely of solid gold! They lay buried for centuries, until in 1922 world-acclaimed archeologist Howard Carter discovered them once more. Today those priceless masterworks are displayed in museums and can only be experienced from afar.
   Now you can own a masterpiece reflecting the incomparable splendor of the greatest art discovery of all time. The Treasures of Tutankhamun Chess Set. Each of the 32 playing pieces is intricately sculptured, then richly coated in 24 karat gold. And each represents a revered artifact from the era of Tutankhamun himself. The playing board is framed in rich hardwood and trimmed with accents of ebony black and gleaming 24 karat gold. The set includes a dust cover -- a pyramid-shaped showpiece crafted of solid glass and polished brass."
