Yes, very interesting. Out of all the sets I have seen in your collection to date, this is one of the more aesthetically challenging designs - mainly because the design of the knight is so dominant and different but clearly linked to cultural influences. It’s good to see designs outside of the Staunton mould and how culture influences the pieces. Thanks for posting.
