Fat 5 & Friends | medium
African wildlife with an attitude!
Whether a warthog or a zebra is your favourite animal, you will love this fat 5 and friends chess set. Suitable for children as the pieces won't break easily and what a smart idea to brighten up your child's room.
This exceptionally crafted, hand-painted chess set has been themed with animals from Africa in mind. All pieces in this unique chess set were made in South Africa and are produced from custom-made hand-designed molds. To give life to the animals, special attention is given to the finest detail and all pieces are hand-painted.
The tallest chess piece in the collection is the Lion (King) - 56mm with all the chess pieces having a base diameter of 30mm. This fits perfectly on the 40mm chess squares on the Walnut and Maple chess board. Size of the board: 37cm x 37cm.

Bishop = Buffalo
Knight = Rhino (dark base); Hippo (light base)
Rook = Elephant
