The pieces have varying and similar heights and contoured surfaces to generate a sculptured or three-dimensional subject. The puzzle may be in the form of a subject formed from a single aggregation of pieces or may be in the form of connected but independent aggregations of pieces as in the case of connected hemispheres (34, 35) forming a geographic globe structure in relief. The puzzle is further provided with detachable securing means (29, 30; 42) for the locking of the pieces of the solved puzzle and is further provided with additional detachable securing means (45, 46) for connecting aggregations of locked pieces as in a pair of hemispheres as stated.</p> |
