Berd Vay’e – Chess Rook

The third ranking piece protects the higher-ranking royal court. “Rook” comes from the Persian word rukh meaning chariot.

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.
