Kama Sutra Chess Set
Each set takes approx 40hrs to make and all sets are made to order. Variety of color/finishes available including metallics. Tallest Piece is 13cm… down to 6.5cm. This is a medium set that requires a board with squares 2″ to display, but will fit on a board with 1.5″ squares at a push. This would make an interesting gift for a male friend or an erotica collector. (Board Not Included) Due to the product used these chess sets are very heavy which is why shipping prices are so high. All sets are well packaged for transit and shipped via private courier. VIA: –UNIQUE DAILY–
