  Living in rustic obscurity, master carver David Lawrence had a bit of trouble getting sufficient reference to make the manatee box figurine. The first version had several errors, the most obvious of which was a bifurcated fluke (two finned tail), which made it not a manatee, but a dugong. Fortunately while in Chicago during the 1998 ICE several HK enthusiasts came to David's rescue and supplied ample missing pieces to the jigsaw. Tribute is paid to them in the enigmatic assorted treasures on the sea bed interior of the box. The jar marked "Pearl Jam" refers to Mike Perlman and the key with "JIM" to Jim Keesler. Of course the Florida Keys are included. The plaster on the tail of one of the manatees is a reference to the dreadful wounds inflicted by the propellers of sightseers, and the bitten propeller inside a symbol of wished for retaliation (this will never come, for the manatee is a placid and loving creature). "Chessie"is a manatee who has achieved fame by swimming up to Chesapeake Bay every summer. "JB Rules" is an accolade to Jimmy Buffett, president of Save the Manatee and popular singer. On the outside of the box figurine, you will see a mirror and comb. These are the traditional "attributes" of a mermaid.

• 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.
