Can anyone see the photo ? I don't see it . What I'm I doing wrong ? I can see the photo after it loads and when I hit the post green button but I can't see it after that .
Help identifying pieces .
Sort:
In english:
King, Queen, Bishop, Knight(Horse), Rook(Tower), Pawn

I saw no photo, sorry.
Marias I think its there now .
Oh ok.
Its unusual but its 8x pawns in the last two rows
Then Knight, Rook, Knight, Rook.
Then finally the front line Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop
Its relatively easy to recognize because usually Pawns are the shortest, then Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, and finally King is the tallest.
Here Pawns seem to be as tall as Knights and the rooks are the smallest, but there is enough information to reconstruct what is what.
These pieces dont seem to be especially good though; they probably very easily fall over. Maybe they are for a chessboard that actually hangs to the wall ?
Also its probably for a language in which rooks are called elephant, because thats what the rooks look like. According to Wikipedia thats for example Hindi.

It's a Chinese set, manufactured as a souvenir for tourists. They seem to be quite common. Here's a link to an ebay listing with something similar. Usually they were/are sold in a folding box that serves as the board.
Since it appears to be made out of wood and not resin or plastic, I'd guess that it's from the 70s or earlier.
Hi could someone tell me the name of these pieces . I want to do some research on them but I don't know how to start looking . Any help would be great Thanks .
