Picture shows a terracotta which decorated the cover of a catalogue

of an exhibition in 1996

It depicts Medusa, a mythological creature with mystical power. It was said that you will turn into stone once you took a look at her. Medusa was beheaded by the greek hero Perseus and Pegasus, the winged horse, jumped off her throat. Okay, sometimes Mythology frightens...

The terracotta was made in the late 6th century BC. and is on display in the archaeological museum in Syracuse, Sicily, Italy.

"Le Voyage de Nils"

Illustration by Delphine Labedan

A Micro-Puzzle edited by LONDJI, Spain, with a total dimension of 10x15cm only

I already assembled a few of them

The illustration refers to the famous novel of Selma Lagerlöf (Sweden, 1858-1940)

"The book is about a young lad, Nils Holgersson, whose "chief delight was to eat and sleep, and after that he liked best to make mischief". He takes great delight in hurting the animals in his family farm. Nils captures a tomte in a net while his family is at church and have left him home to memorize chapters from the Bible. The tomte proposes to Nils that if Nils frees him, the tomte will give him a huge gold coin. Nils rejects the offer and the tomte turns Nils into a tomte, which leaves him shrunken and able to talk with animals, who are thrilled to see the boy reduced to their size and are angry and hungry for revenge. While this is happening, wild geese are flying over the farm on one of their migrations, and a white farm goose attempts to join the wild ones. In an attempt to salvage something before his family returns, Nils holds on to the bird's neck as it successfully takes off and joins the wild birds." (wikipedia)

Sorry, but this jigsaw puzzle is of poor quality. Although new (the bag seems to be unopened) there are 4 (!) missing pieces, thin pieces, bend pieces and there's too much dust left.
