Abstract

3D scan of a wooden chess piece from the winter camp of the "Fram " expedition 1895/1896 on Franz Josef Land. The expedition was led by the later Nobel Peace Prize laureate Fridtjof Nansen (1861–1930).

The chess piece is very likely a rook, this is indicated by the 3 grooves in the upper part of the figure. This type of representation was common during the 18th and 19th century.
