The Ivory Tower

Thanks to Mrs. Cecilia Riccio, the mum of Emma (dancer) and Cesare (chess player) – both engaged for the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna” – for sending us a picture of two Islamic ivory chess pieces, Iraq, late 9th–early 10th century AD, on display at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy.
