The pangolin is a tree-dwelling mammal, covered with scales somewhat resembling an armadillo’s. Like the armadillo, the pangolin rolls itself into a tight ball to defend against predators. The pangolin spends its days eating termites with its ten-inch long tongue. One of the termites waves a white flag in surrender. Also found on the mound is “No. 8,” which Peter Calvesbert chose at random for the termites’ house number. On the interior is the queen termite surrounded by a few of her many youngsters. The numbers “36K” and “50” refer to the queen’s ability to lay up to 36,000 eggs a day each day for 50 years. She has a book of baby names to aid her in naming that huge brood. Peter’s signature mouse is located in the bend of the pangolin’s tail. Limited to an edition of 4000 signed pieces worldwide (3600 Americas).

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 6 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.
