Carved by Harmony Kingdom artist, Peter Calvesbert, "Aria Amorosa" depicts two seals, lovingly entwined with their mouths open in song. This box figurine is Version One, as shown on the hallmarks on the side of the base; also the color trim on their flippers is a bit darker than those which the very early releases had.

Peter's signature mouse is hiding under one of the flippers, and inside is a large rat lying next to a volcano. It seems as Peter was carving this piece, he heard on the radio about a "monster rat" catastrophe. However, it was really the "Montserrat castastrophe" about a volcano threatening to erupt in the Caribbean.

This Treasure Jest had a short lived release; it was released in January 1998 and retired in July 1998.

Harmony Kingdom boxes are hand crafted, using marble resin, from original carvings. Then each is hand painted and tinted for a one-of-a-kind figurine. The boxes are hand painted by citizens of the rural English countryside of the South Cotswolds. There are differences in colorations on each piece.

This Treasure Jest is in perfect condition, from the inventory of a closed store, and it will come in the original Harmony Kingdom green canister box with brochure. This popular collectible is referenced in "The Harmony Kingdom Reference Guide" by Leanna Barron (2002), page 43. We will include some small brochures with information on Harmony Kingdom.
