Take-Apart - The Zulu Box

The Zulu Box
 
Zulu Box - Original
Craftsman:John Berkeley
Category:Take-Apart
Material:Red Lancewood
Pieces:3

The objective is to open the box. The lid turns freely on the body.
 
The lid is composed of two parts which unscrew. You must hold the body of the box in one hand, pressing the bottom of the lid fast against the box. This will allow the top part of the lid to be unscrewed. The bottom photograph of an original puzzle clearly shows the mechanism.
