Game piece with two noblemen in profile mid-16th century German This piece originally belonged to a much larger set of counters, made to be used in courtly pastimes such as backgammon and the goose game, on a board like that displayed nearby. Exceedingly fine workmanship singles out this game piece as one made for the highest end of the market: the slight difference in color between the uppermost boxwood and the base of walnut would have been more marked when new and may well have identified the player, with the woods inverted on the opponents counters. The detailed design of two portrait-like overlapping heads in profile is particularly unusual.[Elizabeth Cleland, 2017. Game piece with two noblemen in profile. German. mid-16th century.
