A 900-year-old chess piece was identified after missing for almost 200 years. A family in Scotland’s capital city of Edinburgh kept the chessman in a drawer since 1964 with no details about the piece. It was purchased for a few pounds by the family’s grandfather, an antique dealer, without knowing its value at the time, according to the BBC. The artifact was carved from walrus ivory during the 12th century and comes from the Viking era. (Photo/VCG)
