**Item Description:**
This a stunning, highly collectible vintage Mexican folk-art chess set. Unlike the common tourist sets that feature Spanish Conquistadors, this rare variant focuses entirely on pure Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican aesthetics, depicting a historic clash between the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. This premium set features a fully integrated dark wood storage box with smooth-sliding a built-in drawer to safely house the playing pieces. The individual tiles on the board are intricately etched with beautiful pre-Columbian glyphs and geometric patterns reminiscent of the famous Aztec Sun Stone. The corner tile features the hand-carved artisan signature initials "RJ," distinguishing it as a genuine handcrafted piece rather than a mass-market reproduction.**Materials & Artistry:**
