Goanywhere 141pc Puzzle-in-Puzzle China Plate IMG_0896

BCD Mtg - I wanted to include this in the album because I had mentioned the jigsaw in a recent piece in the BCD magazine, but only a picture of the puzzle-in-puzzle Tang horse had been included.

 

The small 141pc laser-cut plywood puzzle by GoAnywhere, which has five oriental-themed whimsies, split corners and a subtle curve to the top edge (making the top corners less than 90 degrees).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.

 

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.

 

One of the figurals is a Chinese character that is used in both China and Japan. In Mandarin it means “patience.” In Japanese, “perseverance”.

 

I should add that the pieces of GoAnywhere puzzles are quite small - assembled puzzle is a little under 9 x 6in. The puzzles are laser cut and the bag containing this puzzle was quite grey with charred-dust, as were my finger tips when I'd finished. Perhaps the extraction on the packing machine wasn't working properly when it was packed. Not a problem really.
