Chess set

This meticulously designed chess set from the town of San Pedro las Huertas, located to the southwest of Guatemala City, was acquired by the museum in 2009. The game board and the 36 playing pieces are carved out of jade. The board is inlaid in the top of a decorative wooden box, which also stores the figures when they are not in use. Carlos Reyes, the maker of the set, designed the carved green and black jade playing figures after mythological and historical themes of the Maya.

Carlos Reyes (1977 –)

¡Explora la belleza efímera en el arte de Carlos Reyes! Este artista nacido en Chicago (1977) crea instalaciones cautivadoras con diversos materiales, fusionando fragilidad y monumentalidad, luz, tiempo y forma.
