Es gibt eine sehr interessante Ausstellung im Metropolitan Museeum.

Geht mal gucken:

Medieval Ivory Chessmen from the Isle of Lewis


In 1831, a hoard of luxury goods—including more than seventy chess pieces and several other objects, all made of carved walrus ivory and dating from the twelfth century—was unearthed on the Isle of Lewis off the west coast of Scotland. The chess pieces (thereafter known as the Lewis Chessmen), which come from at least four distinct, but incomplete sets, are arguably the most famous chess pieces in the world today.
