How Puzzling!!

I saw something peculiar in a local store in my town. The stores like a resale store that has junk from all over the place, and I saw a puzzle that looks very much like the artwork of William Morris. So i did my research and found an image of the actual object.

some museum puzzle thing??

William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896) was one of the founders of the Arts and Crafts Movement and closely involved with the Pre-Raphaelite artists of the mid-19th century. His ideal was integrating art, literature and graphic design. Morris was an artist, poet, writer and designer himself. He is probably best remembered for his fabric designs and his book designs for Kelmscott Press. He pioneered modern renderings of antique styles of type as well as the production of high-quality home furnishings to last for generations. Morris left behind a lasting legacy of quality and creativity which will continue to inspire artists for years to come.
