Sheet size 31 by 29.5ins.The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans,
which are put together to form shapes. These puzzles have been the object of interest for artists and
designers who have used the principles of the game to sharpen the powers of observation through the
discovery of resemblances between geometric and natural forms and as a tool for abstraction. The
tangram is thought to have been invented in China during the Song Dynasty and later introduced to
Europe by trading ships in the early 19th century.
