The chess pieces are now housed in the British Museum and have been exhibited in multiple exhibitions. This piece is a part of Lewis Chess, a set of medieval chess made of ivory, including pieces for kings, queens, bishops, knights, castles, and soldiers. This is a bishop's chess piece made of ivory, standing with a damaged sword on the knee, a crown with cross stripes on the head, and three vertical panels on the back of the throne, including clover, geometric interweaving, and wave scroll design.
