Master Carver Peter Calvesbert revisits the hippo theme after a twelve year hiatus. The sweet and simple Its A Fine Day was released in 1993. Spa Treatment is a very different take on this behemoth creature, with naturalism, humor and secrets loading it down. The Ashes and 2-1 inscribed on the lid refer to the riveting English and Australian cricket match that gripped Peter and the entire country during the carving of the piece. England was up 2-1, and if the third match came up a win, they would take back the coveted ashes the remains of a burnt bail presented to the English after beating the Australians on the 1882/83 Australian tour. But Australia has not lost in twenty years! Flanders and Swann refer to singer songwriters whose most famous song was about a hippopotamus: . . .mud, mud, glorious mud. . .. Inside, crocodile heads are seen poking up. Peter couldnt decide whether hed rather swim across a crocodile or hippo infested river.

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.
