Description: Please Note: If you are interested in collecting Harmony Kingdom, Adam Binder Editions or Fragile World pieces, please select me as one of your favorite sellers on ebay, or contact me about a piece you are looking for, and I will be happy to list it, if I have it. I have a large selection of pieces in my eBay store, but due to the expense of listing them all at one time, I will be listing only a few auctions each week. I will try and list a variety of pieces each week and hopefully you will find items of interest to you. This Harmony Kingdom box figurine named "Morris On" was carved by David Lawrence in 2000. It was hand painted/finished by local craftsmen in the Cotswold area of England.Harmony Kingdom description:"The cat is dressed in the costume of Taunton Deane Morris Men, with whom David Lawrence dances. The logo in the center of the ‘baldric’ shows a ‘T’ for Taunton and a cider barrel. ‘Morris On’ is the tune to which Morris Dancers enter the village green (logically there is also a ‘Morris Off’). There is a trowel marked J.E. (for John England - a gardener who preserved many traditional songs) and a small packet of ‘Seeds of Love’ (one of the traditional songs). The mile post points backwards to Headington, but forwards to Hambridge. Also on the milestone is a typographical pun on Cecil Sharp’s name – C# - C. Sharp being a schoolmaster who wrote down many traditional songs and dances for the first time. ‘100 not out’ is a cricketing term – but appropriate here as Morris Dancing and Folk Song have survived despite all detractors. The mouse wears a ‘Hobby Horse’, a curious beast that dances out with some Morris sides. ‘1.5’ signifies ‘1st May’ – the day when Morris Dancing kicks off for the summer. The two animals dance round a green bush – ‘Green Bushes’ was a very popular song. Inside there is a Christmas (Plum) Pudding, which conjures up that wise old Morris song: ‘Lumps of Plum Pudding and Pieces of Pie.' This piece was available only at the 2003 House of Lords Artist Signing Tour events."Free USPS Ground Advantage insured shipping in the US. The piece is "mint in box". Thanks for looking!
