beautifully detailed owl and other creatures
I like the weight of this, it feels and looks solid, not like an empty mould. The knock is not a deep sound, but it is loud enough. The details on the based of the knocker are really lovely. There seems to be a lion or perhaps a yali head or at the owl's feet, and two duck or swan heads forming the tops of the hinge around under the lion-cat head.

Beautiful work on the board and pieces
I absolutely love the board and playing pieces but the storage case is less than ideal. Under the cover of the side where the product images show the playing piece storage is a mess of broken styrofoam. A picture of this is attached to this. Side note: on the product page images showing the board set up with pieces, the back row of pieces is set up incorrectly. From left to right it should be Rook-Knight-Bishop-Queen-King-Bishop-Knight-Rook.
