Harmony
Kingdom King Of The Hill
Prototype Charity Auction
Ended November 24, 2002
The HK House of Peers and
Harmony Kingdom offered you the
opportunity to win a
prototype of
King Of The Hill. At the same time you could
assist NAMI [National Alliance for the Mentally Ill], a grass roots
organization dedicated to eradicating mental illness and improving the
quality of life for those affected by these diseases.
King Of The Hill Prototype
King Of The Hill was created in England by
Master Carver Peter Calvesbert. It is
one of the limited edition Treasure Jests issued in 2001. This prototype has
several differences from the piece that was issued:
-
The coloring is slightly different - the
face is brown instead of green and the mound is much lighter
-
In addition to
the normal hallmarks (Copyright, Peter's initials, Clef sign, and Smiley face)
the prototype has a "1," which normally signifies a first edition. This
hallmark was removed when it was decided to make this a limited edition.
- The base is marked
Pangolin C/S #001
King Of The Hill
was issued in an edition of only 4,000 pieces. The animal is a pangolin, a
tree-dwelling mammal, covered with scales, that resembles an armadillo. It uses
its 10-inch long tongue to eat termites. Several termites can be found on this
piece - one is waiving a white flag! Peter's signature mouse is tucked into the
curve of the tail. Inside is the termite queen, and a book of baby names - after
all, she can lay up to 36,000 eggs a day for up to 50 years - that's a lot of
names to find!
