Summary
A jigsaw puzzle featuring an image of two Beatrix Potter characters, a mouse using a brush and dustpan at the entrance to its home, with a ladybird in the foreground. The puzzle consists of two wooden boards, rectangular with rounded corners, covered with melamine and therefore resembling chopping boards stuck together. Both boards are colour-printed with the same image. The lower board is intact, but the upper one has had the image cut into twelve pieces, leaving a narrow border, thereby creating a puzzle whose pieces can be removed and reassembled, using the lower image as a guide. There are many dirty marks on both boards. Total number of items is 13.
