<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 9607217, member: 35&quot;]So interesting (I&#039;m half Norwegian heritage).&nbsp; I read a book about the Lewis Chessman where it was posited that the chessmen were carved from walrus bone by an Icelandic woman.&nbsp; Trondheim, at the time when the chessmen were made, was the bishopric for the Northern area: Iceland, Ireland, Scotland and parts of Scandinavia.&nbsp; There was a lot of trade and learning shared between these nations at the time.&nbsp; That the chess set was a gift for an important person is undoubtable.&nbsp; My brother, who lives in Scotland, and his wife visited the Isle of Lewis this past October.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
