Description

This puzzle forms a variation on the Daruma doll when completed. The puzzle is natural wood color with the traditional angry Daruma face painted in black and red, featuring a thick black beard, eyebrows, markings under the eyes, and pupils. Thinner black strokes are used for the eyes, nose, and mouth, which is accentuated with two strokes of red on either side. Red dots are also on the left and right corners of both eyes. The lines between individual puzzle pieces are clearly visible.
