This is a very cool puzzle by Tamas and your goal is to manipulate the five keys and two sliders in an effort to completely disassemble it. The metal ‘fob’ piece assures that you keep to a rather high move count of 59.2, in fact Tamas pointed this out in a note “the wire ring is foldable so you can rearrange the keys so the puzzle has more solutions.”Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

BonsAi by Tamas Vanyo
This is cool Ai inspired design by Tamas, there were several completely different looking designs in this series of 4.The particular one I have has a neat packing element in the base of the tree. The branches (wires) and leaves (randomly split wood pieces) are seemingly arranged in a tree shape around the trunk (tree branches). Once assembled it really does look like a ‘Bonsai’ tree!This will be shipped disassembled for packing purposes, and cost will be determined at close of auction.
