"I have created a Games box featuring the game of Tablut. This is a version of the Tafl games played throughout the Norse world. On the other side of the lid is nine mens Morris, which was also known to be played in the same era.
This was created as a Largess gift, as I wanted to create something fun and useful for a Norse persona. The recipient's heraldry is yellow and red, and is reflected in the board and playing pieces. The box and playing pieces were purchased then hand painted.
I created a small linen bag for the playing pieces which has a fingerloop braided drawstring and the owners device embroidered onto it.
There is plenty of space in the box for more games to be added over time.
Something a bit different to what I usually do, but now I am keen to make my own games collection in the future."
