This premium khatam backgammon checkers set is a handcrafted collector accessory made using traditional marquetry techniques. Designed as both a functional game element and a decorative object, it reflects the refinement and precision of classical khatam craftsmanship.

Each checker is carved from solid wood and finished by hand, then inlaid with fine geometric khatam marquetry. The intricate patterns are assembled from miniature elements of wood and brass, aligned with exacting precision to create the signature star-like motifs associated with this historic craft. No two pieces are identical, highlighting the artisanal nature of the process.

Conceived for players and collectors alike, this premium khatam backgammon checkers set elevates any board it accompanies. Whether used to replace existing pieces, upgrade a cherished backgammon board, or complete a collector-grade set, it brings visual richness and tactile quality to the game.

The checkers are presented in a structured protective travel case, designed to store and preserve the pieces while remaining practical for transport or gifting.

Craftsmanship

Each checker requires meticulous handwork, from shaping and smoothing the wooden core to the careful assembly of micro-inlaid khatam elements. This process demands patience, precision, and mastery passed down through generations of artisans.

The result is a durable yet refined object, intended to be handled, played with, and appreciated over time.
