Royal Selangor Lewis Votive
Interlocking arches, a decorative device on a bishop chess piece, take on a physical architectural expression in pewter, pierced to reveal the flicker of a tealight. An integral socket doubles its use as a candlestand for tapers. Unearthed on the Isle of Lewis in 1831, in the wilderness of Scotland?s remote Outer Hebrides, the 12th century Lewis chessmen are exquisitely carved in walrus ivory, and very likely of Scandinavian origin. Of the seventy-eight pieces known today, the British Museum?s collection of sixty-seven is one of its most popular attractions.
