A classic coffin design. Six pieces assemble in a co-ordinate motion and the puzzle opens and closes like a rosebud. It can be assembled in other configurations. The movement on this copy is good though a little tight to begin with when the pieces have greatest contact with each other. It comes complete with the re-moveable retaining pin which allows it to be almost fully opened without collapse. I am not 100% certain but believe this to be a Wenge/Mahogany version made by Pelikan in 2005.
I've been unable to spot a maker's mark and, without a jig, I've not been brave enough to fully disassemble this one!
