Royal Senet Gaming Box – Hand-Carved Stone with Blue Faience Finish (20cm)
The Game of Pharaohs & The Afterlife Own a piece of history with this museum-quality replica of the Game of Senet, the oldest known board game in the world, famously discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Heavy Stone Craftsmanship: Unlike lightweight tourist souvenirs, this piece is carved from solid, high-density stone (Basalt Core), weighing approximately 4.5 kg. It feels substantial and authentic in hand. Authentic Finish: The box is finished with a vibrant Royal Egyptian Blue glaze, replicating the ancient "Faience" technique used for sacred amulets and royal vessels. Functional Design: Features a precise sliding lid mechanism that reveals a hidden storage compartment containing the traditional gaming pieces (cones and reels). Symbolism: The top surface is hand-engraved with the traditional grid of hieroglyphs, representing the soul's journey through the afterlife. Perfect for high-end collectors looking for a functional art piece that tells a story.
The gallery team can confirm the current condition, finish, and surface details before you visit or request shipping. Small variations are expected on hand-finished semi-antique replicas.
Local viewing in Luxor is preferred when possible. Shipping or hand-carry options can be discussed after the gallery confirms size, weight, destination, and packing needs.
