This classic model is carved out of one piece of walnut wood. Engraved on one side is the Pagan temple of Garni. The dominant view is that it was built in 77AD. Garni is the only still standing pagan temple in Armenia, which was awarded the UNESCO prize in 2011. The monastery complex of Geghard is carved on the other side of the backgammon. The name "Geghard" comes from the fact that the Holy Spear with which the Roman centurion pierced the side of the crucified Christ on Golgotha was kept there for 500 years.

This model is completely handcrafted. It is varnished. The hinges and locks are made of cast bronze. The entire playing field is hand carved out of one piece of wood.

The set includes:                                                   

  • 32 playing pieces, made of beech and walnut wood, with velvet fabric applied to bottom of each piece,
  • Dice made from billiards balls,
  • Branded case with wooden handle.
