Alfons Eyckmans designed at least four similar puzzles. Scorpio and Virgo, published in Puzzle Will be Played are level 11 and 12 respectively. Pavo was sold on e-Bay and was level 22. Draco is the highest level of the series.

A property of tri-dimentional puzzles made of boards is that since each piece has a symmetry plane, each solution can be mirrored. The surprising thing is that when the mirror solution is build, the Draco writing that you can see on the picture is not visible anymore. It is inside the puzzle !
