The King, 3" tall, is Triton riding a dolphin - his crown is a starfish.
The Queen is Neriad also on a dolphin, blowing a conch horn.
The two Bishops are a merman and mermaid,
the Knights are hyppocamps, sea horses with fish tails, and
the Rooks are dolphins, swift and far ranging.
The Pawns are sixteen octopedes, arm wrestling for position.
The board is ¼" heavy plate glass etched with dolphins and octopedes.
