khatam karee means "hand-inlaid."  To inlay is to apply wood or other materials in geometric shapes to decorate the surface of various objects. The average is 250 pieces for every cubic centimeter of inlaid work.  Commonly used materials include wood, metals and bone.

This item would make an excellent gift for anyone who is fond of fine craftsmanship, folk arts, decorators or anyone looking for that extra touch of class for their home - even if they don't play chess!

The pieces are also hand-crafted, made of varnished wood and complement the beauty of the board. The inside is lined in soft green felt to keep your pieces protected and handy when you're not using them.
