Pictured is a hand-crafted wooden chess set arranged in the standard starting position on a chessboard. The board itself is handmade from maple and walnut, with alternating light and dark squares in an 8x8 grid. The board is surrounded by a thick walnut border. The pieces are also carved from wood: lighter-toned maple for which (positioned at the bottom of the image) and darker-toned walnut for black (at the top).
White's back row (from left to right): rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, rook. White's pawns occupy the row immediately in front. Black's setup mirrors this at the opposite end.
The overall aesthetic is rustic and minimalist, suggesting a custom or artisanal design.
