This stunning photograph captures the intricate details of a beautifully crafted backgammon board, its wooden surface adorned with meticulously carved designs and vibrant inlay. Fes, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship. The city's artisans have been producing these ornate backgammon sets for generations, each piece a testament to their skill and dedication. The backgammon board in this photograph is a masterpiece of Moroccan marquetry, a technique that involves applying decorative veneers to create intricate patterns.
