	Pelikan Egg wooden interlocking puzzle on Stand	QTY:
	An ingenious 4 piece interlocking egg puzzle on a turned wooden stand designed in 2007 by Jaroslav Svejkovski. Whilst this is not considered an extremely difficult puzzle, the pieces are each made from many smaller complex shaped pieces glued together; finding the correct combination that are not glued, to push or pull to take apart, is very important. Once you take this puzzle apart you will need to fit the 4 pieces back together paying attention to forming the smooth surface of the egg. Because these puzzles are hand turned and finished there is only one solution. There may be a number of different assemblies but for the finished puzzle to exactly as it was made you must assemble it correctly. A great long lasting Easter present for a puzzler instead of too much chocolate.
