Airedales are one of Master Carver Peter Calvesbert’s favorite breeds, but he says that he could never own one. With his straggly beard and wiry hair, he would become one of those people he smirks at for looking just like their dog. But he can still admire them from a distance, and carve them! Inscribed on the base of this fixed edition box figurine, limited to a mere 500 pieces worldwide, are the initials LJR. This is in homage to Lynda and Joe Ringelstein, long-time HK collectors who own Bruno, a handsome Airedale. “Ideal-ear”, found on the lid, is an anagram of Airedale. The artist’s signature mouse hides in one of the dog’s ears.
