The Lewis Chessmen

These 12th-century chess pieces are packed with personality, and have such charmingly expressive eyes! ♟️ 👀

From a large gaming hoard discovered on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1831.

My photo collage shows a selection of bishop and warder chess pieces finely carved from creamish-coloured walrus ivory, dated c. 1150-1200 AD. Found in a large gaming hoard on the Isle of Lewis. On display at the British Museum. Photo top left: Two bishops and a warder. All standing. The bishops wear long garments, mitres, and hold a crozier with both hands. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and a conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces. He’s armed with a sword and kite-shaped shield inscribed with a lozenge shaped cross. Photo top right: A so-called ‘berserker’ warder chess piece. Standing, wearing a long garment and hood, armed with sword and a shield decorated with an interlaced saltire. The warder has large, wide-open eyes, and large upper teeth which bite the top of the shield. Height 8.2 cm. Photo bottom left: A standing warder and two seated bishops, one of which is partly obscured by the warder. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces, is armed with sword and shield. The seated bishops wear long garments, mitres, and each holds a crozier and book. Photo bottom right: A warder and a bishop, both standing. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment, and conical helmet with neck, ear-pieces and ornamented head-band. He is armed with a sword in right hand and kite-shaped shield in left hand. The bishop wears a long garment with cloak, and mitre, and holds a crozier in his left hand and a book in his right hand.

Eggnog Rice Pudding. :)

Basically this recipe quadrupled to use up a half gallon of eggnog. I usually add a little more liquid or use a little less rice than recipe calls for. This time I added about 2 extra cups of milk beyond the 8 cups of eggnog.

www.allrecipes.com/recipe/22891...
A whole bunch of rice pudding on a kitchen counter with appliances in the background; 10 custard cups of varying styles (stoneware, clear pyrex) plus two larger white bowls, all filled with creamy, golden pudding, with a dusting of nutmeg.

On a lark, or maybe in a state of end-of-year wistfulness, this morning I reread something I wrote in 2024, about being a feminist in an age when most of my peers have abandoned feminism’s project. I’m still proud of it. open.substack.com/pub/moiradon...
