Handmade Mah Jong Set in 5 drawer rosewood box up for Bid with no reserve!

A fine mahjong set brings elegance and color to a room even when it's not being played, and this set is one of the most elegant we've seen. With five sliding drawers in a richly colored rosewood block with beautiful inlays made from abalone seashell.

This set is a reproduction of the classic sets from Shanghai that first sparked mahjong's popularity in the West in the 1920's. The tiles are made from crisp new bamboo and cattle bone, inscribed with fabulously colored designs.

Please note that this is a hand made mahjong set made with natural materials using traditional methods. Each tile is cut and carved one piece a time, and the characters are inked by hand. Hand cut bone and bamboo tiles are slightly smaller than fiberglass mahjong tiles, and coloring and shape varies slightly from tile to tile and set to set.

This Set is Brand New and in the Box. Contains 166 tiles: 36 Circles, 36 Bamboos, 36 Characters, 12 Dragons (red, a yellow, and white), 16 Winds (N, S, E, W), 8 Flowers, 8 Seasons, 10 joker tiles, and four spares. Includes a pair of dice, a set of betting sticks, and four wind tiles for determining seating placement. The case measures 9-1/8''L x 8-1/2''W x 6-7/8''H (23.25cm x 21.75cm x 17cm) Tiles measure 1-1/8''L x 13/16''W x 1/2''H (3cm x 2.1cm x 1.3cm) This is an American mahjong set. It includes all the pieces necessary for both the Chinese and American version of the game, including joker tiles. Does not include racks. An instruction manual in English is included.
