Backgammon and chess are among the oldest games in history.
Backgammon may date back as early as 3000 BC. Backgammon is a game played by moving checkers on a board, with the movement of the checkers controlled by the roll of two dice. The elements of luck and skill are well balanced in backgammon so that each is usually essential to victory.

These products were once sold in large quantities to locals and tourists throughout the Middle East. But in recent years, the Middle East has been plagued by wars, famines and many tragedies. Since then, these artisans, mostly in rural areas, have lost their main source of income from selling these products.

Orientis was created to support these artisans, preserve the art of Middle Eastern mosaics and to introduce this type of art to the rest of the world.
