The chess pieces are now collected in the British Museum and have been exhibited in multiple exhibitions. This chess piece is part of the Louis Chess, a medieval chess set made of ivory, including pieces for kings, queens, bishops, knights, castles, and soldiers. This is a bishop chess piece made of ivory, which is standing, wearing a vestment and shawl, wearing a bishop's crown with tassels on the head, holding a scepter and a book. The chess piece was made around 1150-1200 AD.
