Peter Calvesbert’s Rough and Tumble TJLI2 captures a playful group of lion cubs in a more naturalistic Harmony Kingdom scene. Rather than adding his usual abundance of jokes and hidden details, Peter allowed the cubs’ playful character to carry the sculpture.
Carved in 2006, Rough and Tumble was deliberately given minimal staining to recall the appearance of an early Harmony Kingdom piece. Lift the lid to discover a lion wearing a rugby shirt, a reference to the British Lions rugby team.
The piece was produced in England in an edition of 1,000 and released in June 2006.
