1/1 Scale Museum Replica of Tutankhamuns SENET Game! Direct from the Tomb of the King.
This incredible limited edition Senet Board is one of the finest games that I make. This is a 1/1 scale replica of the Senet game that was found in the Tomb of Tutankhamun by Howard Carter in 1922. This replicas is exactly measured to the original artifact! All of the hieroglyphics on the game box exactly match those on the original and the intricately detailed lion legs on the stand are carefully created to match the original ebony carved stand. You will not find anywhere in the world a more accurate and beautifully made replica of the most famous ancient board game of them all.
THERE WILL BE ONLY 12 OF THESE MADE! So this is an extremely limited edition.
The game board features an integrated drawer for pawn storage when displayed. The board itself can be removed from the stand and underneath the board I have placed an engraved, inlaid panel giving you the complete instructions for playing the game. This was not part of the original artifact, but it makes it far easier to have the game rules on hand.
Own a replica of the actual board that King Tut himself played this fascinating and strategic game on. Imagine this as the centerpiece of your game collection? After all, what board game collection is complete without an example of what most historians believe to be the first board game ever invented!
This game also has an optional carrying case, available for an additional cost of $375. This "crate" case is designed specifically for this game and not only makes it easy to take the game anywhere you need to go, but also protects it on the same level that one would protect the original artifact. Complete with an aged appearance, this case holds the game board, stand as well as features a small wooden pawn box, engraved with Ancient Egyptian art and features the actual cartouche of King Tutankhamun on each end.
The crate features markings consistent with ones from the Carter Expedition of 1922 and even has the correct artifact catalog numbers for the board, stand and drawer. If you wish to purchase a crate for your Senet game, send me a message and I can send you a custom order through the shop.
The game measure over 21" long and nearly a foot tall and comes with pawns and casting sticks (dice).
