View through Europeana Collections
Found in the stone table of St. Valentine’s altar of the collegiate church in Aschaffenburg, now owned by the historic association. Two thirds of the original size. The object is neither identical to board 62 nor board 63 in the book, as Klipphahn has chosen in his style copy image motifs from both halves of the chessboard.
