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, standing with a damaged sword on the knee, wearing a crown with crossed stripes on the head, and decorated with three vertical panels on the back of the throne, including clover, geometric interweaving, and wave scroll design.
