A pair of carved stone Islamic chess knights, each stylised in the form of a horse’s head rising from a tall rounded body. The heads are carved with pointed ears, circular eyes and elongated muzzles, while deeply incised vertical lines define the sides of the bodies. One carved from grey veined stone and the other from warm brown stone, both with polished surfaces and minor wear consistent with age and use.
