Many examples came from regions known for inlay work, including India, the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of the Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"2090\"\u003eThe combination of a chessboard with a cribbage-style scoring panel made the box useful for more than one game while keeping the form compact enough for travel or storage. Pegged boards were especially practical because they helped keep pieces and scores stable, whether used at home, on a card table, or while traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2092\" data-end=\"2457\"\u003eThe pale inlay may be bone, faux bone, resin, or another decorative composite material.
