Check this link to see it at ebay.  This gorgeous chess set was custom
made in the Philippines.  The board measures 30" x 30", with 3.5"
squares and folds to contain the pieces.  Made entirely of native
hardwoods the different colors are achieved by using four different
kinds of wood.  The dark pieces are made from black Narra with blonde
bands running through them and the lighter pieces from Philippine
Mahogany.  The King is 7.5" tall and is carved to look like President
Ferdinand Marcos, the Queen is Imelda Marcos.  The Bishop is a Catholic
Bishop, the Knight a water buffalo, and the Rook is a Nipa hut.  Pawns
measure 4" tall.  This was a gift from a government official in
President Marcos' staff to a senior US Diplomat in the early 1980's and
has been in storage ever since.  It has never been used and is in
pristine condition except for some age cracks on some of the playing
squares.  Folded, it measures 30" x 15" x 5.75"; it weighs 27 lbs.
