The
HK House of Peers and
Harmony Kingdom offers you the
opportunity to win an extremely rare prototype of an unreleased box figurine
of a 'Gorilla and Baby.' At the same time you would be
assisting NAMI (the National Alliance
on Mental Illness), a grass roots
organization dedicated to the eradication of mental illnesses and to the improvement
of the
quality of life for all whose lives are affected by these diseases.
'Gorilla and Baby' Prototype
Master Carver David Lawrence carved the
'Gorilla and Baby' in 1996. This is a prototype, made in
England at Martin Perry's studios; the piece has never been
released.
'Gorilla and Baby' is
approximately 2.25" tall, 1.4" wide, and 1.9" deep.
A mother gorilla hovers protectively over her curious off-spring in
this charming, whimsical piece.
If you look closely, you will see that she has already eliminated one
danger to her child. You can see his helmet and a boot on one side,
and his map of THE BLACK NILE and his binoculars on the other.
