In 1831, 78 chess pieces were found on the shore of the Scottish island of Lewis. The originals are mostly carved from walrus ivory and probably originate from Trondheim (Norway), dated 1150-1200 AD. Most of the figures can now be admired in the British Museum in London, the others are in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. A warrior sits on a small horse (probably a Viking or Icelandic pony), carrying a spear on his right side and a shield on his left.
The figure is a replica modeled after the original.
