General Store Checkerboard

General Store Checkerboard

Game board. c.1930. Missouri or Kansas origin. 36" square overall. An otherwise simple checkerboard has become the focal point of this compelling work of art. A 36" square piece of early plywood has been sculpted on each side in such a way as to allow the players to get close to the 12" square painted game at the center. It is likely this piece spent its "playing days" atop a barrel situated on the porch at the local general store.
