I have no id. I think it is just the style
Why the Bishop has cut on it's head?

Because that's where you are supposed to leave your business card.

lol. Which pieces look happy to you?
none, the game is meant to be what it is which is a war where you kill someone and make them bleed until they are finally gone or choose to bleed out from the pain

The bishop piece looks absolutely nothing like an elephant, though. I can't even see a tusk no matter how hard I try.

Or could it have been this exposé

I think of them as long range archers on top of an elephant.
For me it is only a remainder to diagonal move !!!! 😁
Rooks are not siege towers. They are chariots. The original name for chariot was similar to the Italian word for tower, so they became towers. The bishops are elephants and the rooks are chariots. Thus if you make those adjustments, you have a real army. The royalty protected by war elephants, knights, chariots, and soldiers.

I didn't know this. Thank you very interesting.
Charlemagne Chess Set.
What we now call "the Bishop" was an Elephant.
What we now call "the Rook" was a Chariot.
Chinese Chess kept the same Indian pieces.
What we now call "Queen" was Vizier.
Jafar in the movie Aladdin was a Vizier.

In Star Trek, Mr. Spock is the "Vizier" to Captain Kirk.
The original formula was Number One, played by Majel Barrett as "Vizier" to Captain Pike.
They went back to the original formula of having a Vulcan female offcier as the Vizier on Star Trek: Enterprise.

Chess moves through time and space.
Each culture and locality adapts the chess pieces to the things they are familiar with.

In the Indian version of chess, the Bishop is the warrior on a camel and the piece represents the camel's head and it's long foot. There is no queen that fights in a battle, the piece represents the commander of the army, the most powerful person. The rook is a warrior on an elephant, the piece represents the foot of an elephant
I have to educate guys from India, where the game comes from.
Camel. What do I think of? Lawrence of Arabia.
This is like a bad game of musical chairs.
If:
Bishop = Camel
Rook = Elephant
What ? = Chariot?
Where is the Chariot in Indian chess?
Yeah, and don't say the Rook.
