Goanywhere 141pc Puzzle-in-Puzzle China Plate IMG_0900

The rear of the puzzle, whimsies out. One of these is a Chinese character that is used in both China and Japan. In Mandarin it means “patience.”; in Japanese, “perseverance”.

 

The 141pc laser-cut plywood puzzle by GoAnywhere, has split corners and a subtle curve to the top edge.They class it as a level 3+ puzzle, because it has a second puzzle within it - 19 random pieces in this puzzle fit together to form the outline of a Tang Dynasty style horse. I decided to leave the puzzle intact and remove pieces from it whilst assembling the horse. To make it easier to identify the piece shapes without the distracting pattern, I turned the puzzle over, which meant that I had to reverse the shapes needed in my head (something I'm not very good at).

 

The image is the centre of a large piece of Chinese export porcelain dating from the mid 19th century. It is in the Rose Medallion style with beautiful and intricate decoration.
