with ceramic yellow-glazed beads interspersed

This old guy is about as tender as they come

Otherwise scattered stains and aging

I might be as inclined to lay it on a tabletop with a piece of glass over it as to hang it on the wall

Handmade Vintage Wooden "Nova" Puzzle sweet carving with ceramic yellow-glazed beads interspersedI really like handmade wooden puzzles like this, which are just nice sculptural objects to have sitting around (I personally am reluctant to try to take them apart, even when there are solution instructions, as there are here, sweetly noting that this is a tricky one!) I believe this "Nova" puzzle is made of pine, which has been stained, and it is constructed of six identical interlocking parts. Great condition. Approx 3 3 4" each side.
