The Nura Khatha Backgammon Silk Scarf is a modern, practical and fashionable twist to our beloved game of 𝘛𝘢𝘸𝘭𝘪 (Backgammon). This 100% silk accessory can be carried around anywhere in its pouch with the stunning Babylonian flower pieces, to play this staple game on the go.

The silk scarf itself can also be worn as a gorgeous accessory; as a neck tie, bandana, head scarf, hair tie, around a belt loop or bag, or any other way you can pull it off. The beautiful game cherished by our people that can now be both played and worn.

This piece takes inspiration from a backgammon board gifted to us from the early 20th Century that belonged to our great grand uncle, Qasha Yosep (Fr. Joseph). It features a distinct border graphic depicting the might of King Shalmaneser III (reigned 858-824 BC), and the flowers on the pieces themselves are taken from distinct artwork seen on the Babylonian Ishtar Gate.
