Harmony Kingdom Treasure Jest Mutton Chops Figurine Box

Harmony Kingdom Treasure Jest Mutton Chops Figurine Box

This Harmony Kingdom Treasure Jest box is called "Mutton Chops." It was a club gift to members only of the Royal Watch Collector's Club. According to Harmony Kingdom Internet site, here's the description of the secrets associated with this box: "Based on the Aesop Fable of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, this box figurine features two placid sheep and a hungry wolf in sheep’s clothing. This gift piece, contained within membership kits, was available exclusively to 1998 club members. The mouse is tucked in the lamb’s wool on the wolf’s back. Inside are two lamb chops. “TYLS” stands for “Thank You Lynn Stryck,” the collector who suggested the idea to Peter. Hallmarks include ©, diamond, HBC logo, ed.#, and Pc."

The box was originally carved by master carver Peter Calvesbert in 1996 and released on 1/1/1998. It was retired on 12/1/1998, with an edition size of 26028. The dimensions of the piece are 2.05 x 1.81 x 2.28 inches. The model number is RW98MC. The box figurine is in excellent condition, but unfortunately does not come with the original box or insert. It does have the paper label on the underside, but it is partially faded. This Treasure Jest box can be found in the 9th Edition Price Guide to Contemporary Collectibles and Limited Editions, p 385.

The UK based Harmony Kingdom began making the Treasure Jest boxes in the early 1990's. They have quickly become highly collectible. The boxes are intricate carvings by master artists made of crushed marble and resin to resemble antique ivory. The Treasure Jests are a humorous line often with secret images or markings that have meaning to artist's life.
