This sapele, maple, and ebony box, requires sixteen moves to open and formed the beginning of Jeff's second puzzling treasure hunt called Monhegan Sinpossible, held on Monhegan Island, Maine in May/June 2007.  The box contained a bag containing 81 cubes of wood.  An ultraviolet flashlight enabled assembly of the cubes into the configuration below.  What do you see?
