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

- 65cm X 47.5cm all leather board when open.  It is constructed with thick natural vegetable tanned leather which is covered by vegetable tanned goat skin to the inside and top facing.  The shrunken grain goat skins are sourced from the world-renowned Sokoto tanners of Nigeria.  All decorative colouring is applied by hand with deep penetrating permanent inks.  The lines are engraved and filled with flexible metallic gold leather paint.  The decorative lines on the lid are randomly applied so it is a unique art work.  The main colour of the set is best described as lilac.  The frame or walls are made with different coloured layers of hand cut vegetable tanned leather internally fixed with hard core buttress nails in the same way the heals on traditional dress shoes are made.  They are approximately 5.5cm deep outside when closed or 2.25cm high all around when open and 2.75cm deep around the open outside.  The base is covered in black, antique effect calf leather.  The stainless steel hinges have been treated with heat to achieve the bronze colour effect and will not tarnish.

- 2 rectangular hand stitched vegetable tanned leather dice cups with goat skin to the face, black kid leather to the inside and gold edging.  They are hand 'box-stitched' with strong, blue linen thread.  They measure 7.25cm wide, 8.5cm high and 4.25cm deep.

- 30 red and blue 37mm high quality natural resin 'Fildisi' stones or counters sourced from Greece.

- 4 acrylic 14mm dice in red and blue and a 22mm gold acrylic doubling cube.

This is a truly robust set yet retains the soft, warm tactile feel, significant rustic charm and colour of quality leather.
