I have a chess set, which has chinese figurines ( looks like the terra cotta army) as the chess pieces, chinese army depictions on the base
The surrounding base has drawers where the figures are kept. I purchased it form a thrift store. The owner said he bought it during his military tour in South America. Any one familiar with its origin?
