  • These are the representatives of the end of the battle or the war.
    The shrouded chess pieces seem a couple and the whole pawn with its breast plate which is a section of the Chess board in vivid color.

    This single figure appears complete and sparkling. Is this the promise of a better future?
    Will the piece of the Chess board serve as a reminder of past conflicts?

    Or is it the Holy Trinity: the Father, the son and the holy ghost?
