Your last sunset over Senggigi, one more swim at the Gilis, and then the question every traveller faces: what do you bring home from Lombok?

Most souvenirs end up in a drawer. Some are too fragile for the flight. Others are too big for your luggage. A hand-carved teak chess set solves all three: it is made to be used, it travels well, and it fits in the overhead cabin.

A masterpiece carved by hand

Every piece in this set is carved by hand from solid Indonesian teak by local artisans. The king stands 8 inches (20 cm) tall, large enough to feel substantial in your hand and to make a statement on any table.

Teak is the wood Indonesia is famous for. It is dense, durable and has a warm natural grain that deepens with age. The knights alone show what skilled hands can do with a chisel. This is not a mass-produced gift-shop item; it is a piece of Indonesian craftsmanship you will use for years.

Built for the flight home

The set comes packed in one compact box that you carry onto the plane and place above your seat. No checked baggage, no extra fees, no worrying about rough handling.

Box size	30 × 30 × 25 cm (12 × 12 × 10 in)

Airline cabin rules vary, so check your carrier’s carry-on size and weight allowance before you fly.

Ready to play the day you get home

Inside the box you will find everything you need for your first game:

• 32 hand-carved teak chess pieces, with an 8-inch (20 cm) king
• A 1 × 1 m cloth chess board with coordinates, easy to fold and store

The display board shown in the photos is not included.

Unroll the board on a dining table or a garden terrace, and the set becomes the centre of family evenings and game nights with friends. Every match is a small reminder of your days in Lombok.
