Description

Formerly called pil by the Persians and then al-fil by the Arabs, this pawn has more modest dimensions than the previous ones and is characterized by a truncated cone shape with a rounded top, which make it resemble a kind of inverted bell. It has two small protuberances in the upper part, a stylized representation of the elephant's tusks, commonly used for war purposes in the East. Over time, in Europe these two protuberances will tend to merge into one, giving the piece its current shape with the typical upper termination reminiscent of a bishop's miter
