The Blonde with Bare Breasts, 1878
These chessmen are part of a hoard found in a sand dune at Uig Bay on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. It’s thought that they might have belonged to a trader who was travelling from Norway to Ireland to sell them, sometime between AD 1150 and 1200. From the worried queen to the teeth-baring berserker, they’re a characterful bunch! Which emojis do you think best represent the Lewis Chessmen?
