3D model description

Archaeologists found this game in the tomb of an official named Reniseneb. The game of Hounds and Jackals was important to Egyptians who lived during the Middle Kingdom (approximately 4,000 years ago). We know this because they have found many examples of these game boards at Middle Kingdom archaeological sites.
This game is probably played liked today's Chutes and Ladders. The course probably started in the middle of the board. The two players would race each other, moving their pieces down and around the outer edge and up to the hole at the very top.
You have a Board (Lid) and Box to hold the pieces you only need a dice to finish this set.

I based one peg on Horus modeled by Gargi https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1548379.
