Colorful regional dances (Azeri, Kurdish, Qashqai)

Polo Painting on the Chess & Backgammon Board
This exquisite handcrafted chess and backgammon set is adorned with an authentic Persian painting of a polo match (Chogan) — an ancient sport with roots in Iran dating back over 3,000 years. Polo is recognized as the first team sport in history, and in Persian tradition, it has always been a symbol of culture, artistry, and nobility.
The artwork vividly portrays Persian horsemen riding purebred horses, engaged in the thrilling game of polo. It reflects the elegance, skill, and grandeur of ancient Iran. More than just a pastime, polo was once a training ground for princes and military commanders — a blend of entertainment, athleticism, and martial discipline.
This painting on the board is a reminder of polo’s special place in the royal courts of Persia, where it was cherished by kings, nobles, and warriors. It is not merely a sport but a symbol of Persian heritage and pride.
By owning this luxurious chess and backgammon set, you are not just purchasing a game board — you are bringing home a piece of Persian history and culture.
