Berd Vay’e – Chess Queen of Parts

The only piece that represents women; it is the most powerful as it combines the power of both the Rook and Bishop to make moves across the board in any direction to open squares. Often ruthless, it defends the King’s majesty.

Each Berd Vay’e piece is casted with 8-10 layers over a 24-72 hours period. The sculpture is then baked, carefully protecting it from the formation of air bubbles or imperfections thus resulting in a seamless, crystal clear sculpture. The cooled Lucite® is shatter resistant, having heralded from its early use on submarines and helicopters. Each sculpture is then shaped and polished by hand, requiring relentless attention from multiple artisans to complete every one-of-a-kind piece.
