  • Master Carver Peter Calvesbert frequently consults The Guinness Book of Animal Facts and Feats, his “gold mine of useless information”. In the pig section, he read about a sow which “threw” 34 piglets. This set him off thinking what chaos feeding time must have been. “Mother Load” portrays a resigned mum in such a situation. Peter couldn’t quite carve 34 piglets into his model, running out of room at 22 (we think). “Hogzilla”, inscribed on the lid, references a 12-foot-long wild hog that is part of local legend in small towns across Southern Georgia. The owner claims that the hog, now deceased, weighed 1,000 pounds. A second inscription, “Anne Langton”, refers to a collector who has amassed the largest pig collection in the UK, according to said Guinness record book. Within the sow sculpture are sausages, each inscribed with the name of a well-known pig from film or literature.

  • 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 Kingdom’s 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.
