Hi, a while ago my parents bought me an Indian chess set back from India:

Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing? Are the black pieces ebony? How old might it be? I think they paid about $250 for it.

I tried playing Indian rules with it and it’s quite a different game. Also the pieces are hard to distinguish from behind.

It’s quite some carving gone on!
