Why Pegasus Series?
Pegasus, an immortal winged divine stallion, is one of the best-known creatures in Greek mythology. Winged horses like Pegasus have been used to symbolize freedom, power, and victory in many cultures. Pegasus is said to have sprung from the head of Medusa, a mythical Gorgon sister with hair of snakes and a stare that could turn a man to stone. According to legend, everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring spring burst forth.
Our Pegasus knights in this set are inspired by the same Greek stallion. The mane of the knight depicts the folded wings of the Pegasus. The flared nostrils of the knight depict the Pegasus which has just landed on earth after a long flight.
Craftsmanship: The lathe work on each chess piece is noteworthy, especially the curly rounded hairs of the knight. The carving and the design of the knight are quite spectacular, look closely at the eyes, nostrils, curly rounded hairs, teeth and, craftsmanship around the mane. The design of the other pieces is also highly outstanding, each chessmen is carefully handcrafted in India. They are meticulously handcrafted from the finest grade ebony wood and polished by hand to give it a rich and long-lasting shine. Superb size proportioning from king to the pawn exhibits true intricate craftsmanship in all the pieces. The design, quality, and craftsmanship of these chess pieces are comparable to the luxury chess sets that are sold for $900+ by other retailers.
