Summary
A plastic ball maze game in a box, labelled 'Pigs in Clover'. The maze is black and circular in shape, the box is rectangular, wooden, with a glass lid, with its sides and base covered in paper. The sides are coloured red, and quite torn (repaired with Sellotape), the base is printed in black on a white background with a list of puzzles in the same series. The base of the puzzle is covered in yellow paper, printed in black with the name of the game and instructions on how to play. There are seven metal balls to represent the 'pigs' which the player has to roll into the centre of the maze - the 'pen'. These are rusty.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Joy Eccles in May 1990.
