The HK House of Peers and
Harmony Kingdom offer you the
opportunity to win
prototypes of Haji's Hero
and the Elephant Wee Beastie. At the same time you can
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.
Haji's Hero Prototype
Haji's Hero was created in England by
Harmony Kingdom artist Monique Baldwin. It was one of the redemption pieces for
2002 Royal Watch members. This piece was
named after an elephant calf born November 28, 1999 at the Dickerson Park Zoo in
Springfield, Missouri. The 31-month-old elephant calf,
Haji, the first to be conceived by artificial insemination, died
suddenly from elephant herpesvirus.
Haji's Hero Prototype
The Elephant Wee Beastie
was also carved by Monique Baldwin, and was available only from the Dickerson
Park Zoo.
 
Elephant Wee Beastie Prototype
The prototypes differ from the issue pieces in several ways:
-
Haji's Hero
prototype is a solid piece; not a box
- The base is
marked Elephant Redemption Piece Prototype
- The base of
the Elephant Wee Beastie
prototype is marked Wee Beastie Elephant #001
