Goliath is one of the most complicated of Berrocal's puzzles. Instead of the typical sequential assembly, Goliath requires numerous subassemblies. Some of which contain ten or so pieces themselves. Goliath has both a circumcised and uncircumcised penis. One goes in its proper place and the other is stowed away deep inside. The same goes for the fig leaf. Neither option is a change you can make quickly because these pieces go in early. Berrocal made 2,000 from 1968 to 1972. Of these, 6 were in silver.
