Marvered glass game pieces — quasi-spherical pieces of dark glass, decorated with trails of white glass. These pieces were used as pawns in a variety of games, including the game of chess. The marvering technique places these pieces at the 12th–14th centuries, the height of Islamic glass manufacture.
