Pan Chess - Xul Solar (mid 1940's)

In 2023 I returned for the 3rd time to my favourite museum in Buenos Aires - The Museo Xul Solar. 

This is Solar's Pan Chess design. 'a glasperlenspiel combining language, numerology and astrology', of which the artist wrote of ‘I am world champion of a game no one knows.'

Certain objects and artworks remain lodged permanently just below the surface of your consciousness, waiting to be reawoken by memory or external triggers. This is one just object for me.
