Harmony Kingdom's Treasure Jests are handcrafted in the English Cotswolds. Made from a special crushed marble and resin mixture, each has the look and feel of ivory. Every Treasure Jest is sculpted by master carver Peter Calvesbert and is a charming and humorous animal portrayal. These box figurines are ideal for storing tiny treasures. One Treasure Jest is an unusual gift and conversation piece; many make for a fascinating and absorbing collection. |

Secrets: Ed's safari bus must have travelled to a very exotic locale, as the tour has become lunch for a dinosaur. Guess that answers the question written on the underside of the bus: DYOUTHINKHESAURUS? Also written on the bus is "Ed's Ferrari." Looks like Ed's going to have to buy a new vehicle: is this a clue to what he wishes that new car to be? The plate on the bus has number 6262, referring to one of Peter's friends, whose birthday is 6th February 1962. Always in the midst of the excitement, Mad Murphy is hiding on the front grill. On the Version 1 interior a frightened turtle abandons his suitcase in his attempt to flee. Version Infinity features an elephant who has fallen off a ladder - the thud must have sounded as loud as a dinosaur's footstep! |
