"Preparing the Soil" puzzle - 260 pieces

Puzzle consisting of 260 pieces inspired by the Chios Mastic Museum. It depicts the preparation of the soil for the mastic harvest. In June and early July they prepare the "table", the ground around the trunk, and create on it a smooth, clean surface with asprochoma (white earth). Thus, when the drops of mastic fall, they solidify, brighten and are more easily collected. If the tear does not fall on the white soil, it becomes blackish and loses its value.
