For further reading refer to Master Pieces by Gareth Williams pp 103/104 "One very attractive design imported is normally referred to as a "Pepys" set. Such a set, with a box board and backgammon counters, was presented to the London Museum by the Pepys Cockerell family, descendants of the diarist Samuel Pepys... The sets made for export for the East India Company and those made to cater for English taste did to a certain extent modify the style of carving of the traditional Hindu Indian artist. They would carve in the inherited style used over centuries by masons whose sculptured masterpieces of their varied gods impressively adorn the ancient Hindu and Buddhist temples built throughout the subcontinent."
