Summary
A jigsaw puzzle featuring an image of the Beatrix Potter character Ribby, from 'The Pie and the Patty-pan'. She is a lady cat, standing by a water pump, holding a bucket and looking at a broken plate on the ground. The puzzle consists of two wooden boards, rectangular with rounded corners, covered with melamine and therefore resembling chopping boards stuck together. The lower board has a red 'flock' backing. Both boards are colour-printed with the same image. The lower board is intact, but the upper one has had the image cut into eighteen pieces, leaving a narrow border, thereby creating a puzzle whose pieces can be removed and reassembled, using the lower image as a guide. Total number of items is 18.
