Occasionally a piece has been on store display in a locked “view only” case and not handled by customers. Quote from Harmony Kingdom: A young orangutan shelters from the rain under a broad green leaf. Her intelligence shows in her expressive, almost-human face. Carved into the underside of the leaf are the words “Borneo” and “Sumatra.” These two Indonesian islands are the only places in the world where orangutans are still found in their natural habitat. On both versions the mouse also waits out the rain under a leaf. The following code appears on the base of Version 1: RQBHHYAQDRFLHMSHBW. The keyword is “Harmony Kingdom” and the type of animal on the box. The code is removed from Version Infinity and is replaced by the cryptic carving “NBIII.” This stands for Notah Begay III, Peter’s 50-1 bet for the winner of the 2000 British Open Golf Championship. The interiors of both versions portray orangutan faces. Harmony Ball Company will continue to promote and distribute existing Harmony Kingdom, created from 1994 through summer 2012. All new HK pieces will be promoted and distributed directly by master carver Peter Calvesbert from England.Harmony Kingdom’s unique collections are handmade of crushed marble and resin in the tradition of the English cottage industry. Artistic Director Martin Perry led the talented artists from Wimberley Mills, at his headquarters in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England’s West Country. The whimsical animals of the Treasure Jest series, the beautiful blooms of Harmony Garden, and the entire Harmony Kingdom range all display the attention to detail and quirky sense of humor for which Harmony Kingdom’s artists are known.
