The backgammon board and dice cups for this set are entirely hand crafted and hand stitched. The following items are included:

- 54.5cm X 47cm all leather board when open. The playing surface is made of thick, vegetable tanned leather cow hide which has been decorated or tooled by hand for increased character.  It is light grey with points in darker grey and blue. It is well nourished and polished to a smooth, glossy patina.  Engraved lines which form the decorative waves and points are filled with black leather paint.  They are randomly applied so it is a unique art work.   A raised navy blue, vegetable tanned leather border is hand stitched through all layers around the playing surface with strong red linen thread to keep the stones/counters within the playing field.  The outside is covered in glossy, black lamb leather with an attractive, antique pattern to the grain.  The stainless steel hinges and screws will not tarnish.

- 2 hand stitched vegetable tanned leather dice cups constructed with the same leather used to make the inside of the board.  The are lined with the same lamb leather used for the back of the board.  Discreet 'Worm Eats Bird' branding is engraved underneath one cup.  They measure around 8.5cm high, 7.5cm wide and 4cm deep at the sides.

- 30 grey and white coloured 37mm natural resin, 'Fildisi' stones or counters sourced from Greece.

- Four 14mm light and dark blue dice and a 22mm translucent red coloured doubling cube.
