“Bone Head” is Harmony Kingdom’s first dinosaur themed box figurine. Our favorite master carver says he wishes he roamed the earth during the age of the dinosaurs but that would make him at least 65 million years old and probably a bit shaky on his feet. Peter’s triceratops is bemused by a meteorite landing at his feet. Was this the meteorite that caused dinosaurs’ extinction? The triceratops has trodden on a sign that reads “Hell Creek”, a rock formation in North Dakota that is rich in dinosaur discoveries. The hidden mouse has also turned up, just checking that his stand-in, the snake, is doing its job properly. Peter began carving “Bone Head” on his birthday, which is inscribed on the beast’s belly. A month later, he added the finishing touches while his son Sam was celebrating his fifth birthday, commemorated on the box’s lid. Peter imagines that the reason there are no photographs of dinosaurs is because they ate all the photographers, so his triceratops’ interior is full of cameras.
Although Harmony Kingdom is still manufactured at Wimberley Mills near Stroud in Gloucestershire, since Martin Perry, the founder retired in August 2005, marketing and shipping of the pieces is done from the USA office at Harmony Ball Company in Ohio. This means that we have to consolidate our orders before having them shipped to us. We are currently taking deliveries about every 3 weeks and so there may be a delay with your order if the piece is not already in stock. We will advise by email. Hope this doesn't cause a problem.
