ABSTRACT:
A puzzle comprises a set of puzzle pieces and a mounting board for mounting the pieces. Each puzzle piece has an essentially planar body with a front surface, an opposing rear surface and a periphery. The front surface has first and second characteristic ornamentations on it. The first characteristic ornamentation provides the puzzle piece with unique individual value, particularly display value. The second characteristic ornamentation provides a portion of an overall pictorial image farmable from the set of puzzle pieces. Each piece is shaped to be placed adjacent to at least one other piece of the set so that when all of the set pieces are placed in a unique spatial arrangement, the overall pictorial image is formed. The rear surface is provided with a means for fastening the piece to an article, allowing individual or set display. The fastening means can include a pin, a strip of adhesive material, a strip of magnetic material or the like. The periphery of the pieces may be shaped so as to interlock with adjacent pieces when the pieces are in the unique spatial arrangement.
