2016 piece puzzle, "Achala Mandala" by Epoch, Japan.
I thought it would be fitting to start the year 2016 with a 2016-piece puzzle, and I knew just the one to choose. This colorful pile of pieces comes with a twist: the same image is printed on both sides! I'm unsure whether the general symmetry found in a mandala will make this easier or harder. The puzzle pieces were chopped from both sides so it's impossible to tell which side is which, I believe. A potentially difficult puzzle but without any dark or monotonous areas. I've cast the box aside and will work without any image reference.
I think this unusual puzzle might make a worthy addition to dajavous' Gallery of Cardboard Jigsaw Cuts.
