Ancient Chess set 9th-12th century inspired

This is a recreation of two different kings, a chariot (rook), and a elephant (bishop) found in Nishapur, Iran, believed to be from between the 9th and 12th century. The pawn and the knight are based on other pieces from a similar time and place with stylings based on these pieces.
