This chess set includes the Robin Hood hand painted theme chess pieces matched with our Green and Erable High Gloss Deluxe Chess Board. This colorful chess set is based on the legendary tale of Robin Hood and his band of merry men roaming the English countryside steeling from the wealthy to help feed the country peasants. The characters include Robin Hood, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Little John, Maid Marian, and Friar Tuck. The pieces are artistically designed with features and fine detail to capture the essence of the characters. The pieces are cast in solid polystone, an extremely hard, stone-like material, and are hand painted in realistic colors by highly skilled artisans with amazing detail.
