Requests:  0 Summary:  In the early 1800's, on a Hebridean beach in Scotland, the sea exposed an ancient treasure cache: 93 chessmen carved from walrus ivory. Norse netsuke, each face individual, each full of quirks, the Lewis Chessmen are probably the most famous chess pieces in the world. Who carved them? Where? Brown explores these mysteries by connecting medieval Icelandic sagas with modern archaeology, art history, forensics, and the history of board games.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 736.62094 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 736.62094 Brown Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 736.62094 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 736.6209 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 736.62094 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 736.62094 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 736.62094 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList
