Big
Gulp
This is a solid-body prototype of a Treasure Jest which will be released in
June 2007. Carved by Master Carver Peter Calvesbert, he may have taken
snakes' unusual digestion to the extreme! This snake has swallowed the
elephant. The worldwide edition size of 200 makes this a hard-to-find piece!
The released version is a box, not solid-bodied. |
 |
 |
Holy Smoke
This is the only prototype of the 2006
Annual Santa piece with the special cigar
version! This is one way to get this variation! |
|
This Mortal Coil
This piece is an unreleased Artist Master. It is based on Peter's nautilus
Treasure Jest, but is solid-bodied and cast using a bronze resin rather than
a marble resin. |
