Myanmar (5)

In spite of being figurative is this set meant to play chess indeed. Burmese chess has its own rules, which are quite different from our chess.

Wood K 7.4; p 4.9

 

The following figurative sets are most likely made for the tourist market. Maybe set 2 (and 4?) could have been meant for play!? I don't believe the date of the 1st set and doubt about the 2nd. These sets have been made to look old, most likely.
