- Master Carver Peter Calvesbert was having an artistic dilemma. Should he carve a walrus or gorilla? He had just walked his son Sam to school and stopped in the local newsagent to buy his usual wildlife magazine when fate took a hand. The magazine included five pages of fantastic walrus pictures. Many of the pictures showed the walruses squashed together, so Peter decided to explore what could happen if the icecaps do melt and the habitat of these large marine mammals shrinks even more. The inscription “BP 12/12/06” stands for Peter’s Bird of Paradise plant and the date when it finally flowered, after 10 years. Under a tail flipper is the name Lily Allen, an English recording artist whose album Peter listened to non-stop when carving this piece. “RAM 13d” references son Sam’s broken arm (RAM is a scrambled arm and 13d is 13th of December, the date of the accident). Within the box figurine is a walrus concerned about his weight, trying to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables, something Peter generally fails to manage unless one classifies chocolate biscuits as a fruit.

- 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.
