- A family of manatees find some aquatic plants for lunch, despite the pollution that threatens their habitat. Along with the bottles and cans is a boat propeller, representing one of the greatest dangers to these slow-moving animals: speed boats. The top manatee bears the scars of such an encounter. V.V. inscribed on a rock stands for Victorian Village, a U.S. House of Lords dealer who took Peter Calvesbert to the Lowry Park Zoo to visit the manatees during his 2002 tour. The signature mouse peeks out from a fore-flipper (be careful not to confuse him with the fish!). The interior of the Version One shows a baby manatee. The Version Two interior shows a manatee shaving its short, stiff bristles.
HARMONY KINGDOM figurines are cast from a special mixture of crushed marble and resin giving them the look and feel of ivory.

These beautiful boxes will grab your attention and have you searching for the details that cover every square inch of each piece. Each have their own unique name and theme. When you give a gift from HARMONY KINGDOM you are truly giving a magical piece that will enchant and intrigue the recipient.
