Inktober day 14: #fierce

 

The Lewis chessmen are a group of distinctive 12th-century chess pieces, most of which are carved in walrus ivory. The rooks are standing soldiers or warders holding shields and swords; four of the rooks are shown as wild-eyed berserkers biting their shields with battle fury.

I love the Lewis chessmen, they are beautiful. You can find them in the British Museum.
