Pieces are made from polystone and are beautifully sculpted and hand painted with amazing precision. A movie in 1964, Zulu, depicted the Battle of Rorke's Drift which one of the most famous battles that took place during the British-Zulu war. A historical and interesting chess set painted in realistic bright colors.
