A Pair of Berserkers from the Isle of Lewis
I fell in love with these chessman on a visit to the Isle of Lewis many years ago. I came home with one knight but wished I could have afforded the whole set. Not long ago, I was thinking about Lewis, longing to see it again, especially the standing stones. On a whim, I ordered the chessmen from the Edinburgh Museum. I confess I do not know how to play chess. I just like the strange little figures.
By the way the Berserkers are known as rooks in today’s chess.
