• This box figurine features two adult anteaters and one youngster attempting a feast, but the nest of ants they seek is a force to be reckoned with. Seventeen ants fight back with hand grenades and a mousetrap. The mouse is in the small hollow of the tree trunk on the lid. The inside of the box reveals the anteaters family cookbook, complete with gourmet ant recipes, hence the title, Antipasto. Inscriptions include Leaf Futters Rule, carved on the tree, which should have read Cutters, but Peters knife slipped. (Leaf Cutter is a type of ant). Good Luck Kimberly refers to an HK collector who was expecting a baby at the time of carving. 40x refers to the fact that anteaters sense of smell is 40 times greater that of humans. Hallmarks include , heart, HBC logo, ed.#, and Pc.

• NOTE: Because Harmony Kingdom is handmade, individual box figurines may exhibit slight variations. While the artisans do their best to ensure that Harmony Kingdom boxes look seamless, many pieces do look like two-piece figurines.
  
• Harmony Kingdoms artists often conceal a small motif on the box figurines they carve as a sort of signature. This identifies the piece as being their work and adds to the Secrets of the Kingdom. David Lawrence uses an acorn on most of his box figurines, and Peter Calvesbert uses a mouse. Many collectors enjoy searching for these small, hidden symbols of the artists.
