“The motifs on Zeyrek Glass Backgammon Set are decorated using 24 carat gold, platinum and antique paints.”

According to legend, the Indian Emperor sent the Persian Emperor the game of chess as a gift with a letter. While he did not make any explanation about the game in his letter, he wrote the following message:

Who thinks more, who knows better, whoever sees further; wins. This is life …

The Persian Emperor shared this message with the vizier Buzur Mehir, the most scholarly vizier of the period, and asks him to solve the game and invent another game to be gifted to the Indian Emperor in return. After weeks of work, the vizier solves every piece of chess and the logic of the game. He then invented the backgammon and presented it to the emperor.The following message is prepared to be sent to the Indian Emperor with the backgammon game:

Who thinks more, who knows better, whoever sees further; wins, but with a little bit of luck. This is life …

Backgammon, which was developed 1400 years ago by Buzur Mehir, is a game inspired by the concept of time. The full set represents a year, the total 4 corners represent 4 seasons, 12 triangles opposite each other within the backgammon represent 12 months, the total of the checkers represent 30 days of the month, black checkers represent the night, white checkers represent the day, and 24 triangles opposite each other represent 24 hours of the day.

The motifs, ethnic and geometric patterns on Zeyrek Glass Backgammon are stylized. The sun symbol on the scales represents the day and the moon symbol represents the night.

The motifs on Zeyrek Glass Backgammon are decorated using 24 carat gold, platinum, and antique paints.

Zeyrek Glass Backgammon is the limited edition and presented in a handmade gift box with a numbered certificate.
