A replica of one of the eleven original Lewis Chessmen that date back to the late 12th to early 13th century, and currently housed in the National Museum of Scotland. They were discovered in 1831 on a beach at Uig on the Isle of Lewis, located in Scotland. The set is believed to have been crafted in Trondheim, Norway, and is primarily made from walrus ivory and sperm whale tooth. The pieces vary in height, ranging from 60 to 100 mm, and are celebrated for their intricate carvings, which reflect a high level of craftsmanship. They are part of a larger hoard of 93 gaming pieces, which includes at least four chess sets as well as other game pieces, all likely originating from Norway during the same historical period. This find is significant in understanding the spread of Viking culture and the exchange of goods across Northern Europe. The 'Berserker' is one of the most distinctive and recognisable pieces in the set. The term 'berserker' derives from the Old Norse word for a soldier or warrior who wore a shirt made from bearskin, often characterised by their frenzied combat style. The piece itself is depicted in an aggressive stance, with a fierce facial expression, bulging eyes, and a posture suggesting an attack, as the figure is shown biting the edge of its shield. This portrayal reflects the berserker’s reputation as a fierce and fearless warrior, further emphasised by the exaggerated, almost primal, features carved into the ivory.
