Favus is design No. 9643 in the Naef range. Designed in 1985 by Toshiaki Betsumiya and made and sold by Kurt Naef of Switzerland.
Goal: Assemble all 12 pieces into a three layer hexagonal shaped tower.
I’ve seen various version of this puzzle since made by others but this is the original design.
I can definitely say this is quite a difficult puzzle to put together.
Size: 120 x 120 x 88mm
Materials: I don’t know the species of wood but its very well made with a dark reddish brown wood.
Condition: Puzzle is in good condition. The box is fair. A little scuffed on a couple of edges but it still has all the original packing inside to hold the puzzle secure and the original information and solution sheet.

Import duties/tariffs are not included in the final price. The import duty or tariff rate may be different for every country so please check the rate that applies to your own country. It is usual practice that import duties or tariffs are paid by the buyer at the point of import or delivery in your own country. USA is the exception. The USA government has mandated that the tariff be paid to them from Australia before we can send the parcel. The tariff percentage for puzzles made in Switzerland is currently set at 12.5% + Customs clearance fee.
