When Lisa Yashon at Harmony Ball decided to sell their Harmony Kingdom archives, that was a quick yes from me! This piece comes directly from the manufacturer, and has been checked for damage, arriving in the original box. So glad to have these great pieces back! ~ Jules

Secrets:
This is the first box figurine produced by Harmony Kingdom exclusively for fundraisers. Over $150,000 (USD) was raised from the proceeds. Harmony Kingdom donated two each to Queen Empress dealers hosting a “Queen of the Jungle” event. These dealers auctioned or raffled their pieces for charitable causes of their choosing. Harmony Kingdom also donated one piece to each of the independent, authorised Harmony Kingdom clubs, who donated at least 50% of the proceeds to a selected charity. The box figurine is elegant and stylized, yet it depicts wood lice (Chucky Pig is the British euphemism for this insect). The interior contains the HBC logo. Hallmarks include ©, diamond, clock face with month 2, HBC logo, andPc.
