A Jetan/Martian chess set I made in a fit of Barsoomian nostalgia. This is the sort of thing a wandering panthan might while away the time making for himself - or herself - out of very basic materials: small and very light, self-contained, and attractive.

Chess may be the game of kings, but Jetan is a warrior's game known over all of Barsoom, from Manator to Helium, from the marshes of Toonol to the Valley of the First Born.

The set is birchwood, stained and painted with acrylics. The box is wooden with a flexible lid, lined with fine paper, decorated with real bone beads. The pieces fit securely inside. The board is canvas with painted squares, edged with a blanket stitch to keep it from unraveling.
