Lewis Queen Full Scale Replica Piece

Full-size replica of the Lewis Chessmen Queen from the National Museums Scotland collection in new mock ivory finish, Made by hand in the United Kingdom.
3D laser scans were taken of some of the pieces in the collection to create these authentic poly-resin replicas exclusive to National Museums Scotland. The either very concerned or terribly bored looking Queen is seated on her throne, supporting her chin with her right hand and cradles a drinking horn in her left. She is wearing a veil beneath her crown.

The Lewis chessmen are one of the most popular objects on display in the National Museum of Scotland. The Viking cache of ninety-three figures, carved from walrus tusk and probably made in Scandinavia in the 12th century, were found some 700 years later in a the sand on Uig bay in 1831. The artistry varies from piece to piece but it's the facial expressions that divulge their true characteristics and quality. The collection included four distinct sets. Eleven figures are currently owned by National Museums Scotland and the remaining eighty-two are in the British Museum in London.
