"I've little interest in this sort of thing myself," he explains. "But you can see the historic value."
The pieces are all Hallownest symbology! Carved spiky crowns for the most notable pieces of course, but also stylised little figures of bugs and rounded elytra symbols and a couple of miniature models of the actual buildings themselves. There's even a tiny stag bell on a post that might have tinkled when picked up, though the actual chime part has long been broken away and lost.
The board is shellwood, with the lacquer coming away in places. The pieces are all metal except for the crowns - those are dusted pale(r) with some kind of sprayed-on treatment, though it's worn off in all the fiddly places.
Lemm fishes up another cloth and sets to polishing.
