Lewis Chess Pieces Pin Badge - Queen

Description

The Lewis Chessmen are an iconic set of pieces from the 12th century, and now can be admired on a detailed pin badge. This pin badge is based on the classic Queen piece from the Lewis Chessmen collection and is perfect for any chess fan.

Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis but dating back to the 12th Century, the Lewis Chessmen recall a time of feuding Viking lords and violent invasions and are one of our museum’s most popular exhibits.
