Well captured against the background.

Thanks Esther! :-) I actually had a shot with better bokeh, but I had the pawns a little too high and it just didn't look right.

Best looking pawns that I have seen! Nice close up, Norm.

Thanks Gill! My former brother-in-law was stationed in Korea back in the early 1980s and he sent them to me. They are plastic, but are made to look like carved Jade.

cool, I thought they were big cement sculptures.

Thanks Wendi! They are about 3 inches tall I'd guess. They rarely leave their box anymore as they have too many places to collect dust.

Thanks Jan! Not too wise I'd guess ... or they wouldn't be pawns! :-)

Oh these are great Norm, at some point would love to see the entire set of players. They remind me of those ancient pieces one finds in the museums. Well taken!!

Thanks Chris! I'll have to see what I can do sometime. I think they were made to look like those kind of pieces ... but they are just something made by a craftsman in the village outside of the military base.

Nice arrangement Norm and I never would have thought they were plastic.

Indycaver (Norm) club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thanks! :-) Yes ... I think they would use a word like "cast resin" to describe them. They are solid and heavy.
