| This limited edition
box figurine features a mouse entangled in a long ball of
yarn. |
| The story of the
Gordian Knot holds the key to his release.
Once upon a time, the King of Phrygia, Gordius, tied his
wagon to a beam with a knot of the most exquisite
complexity and proclaimed that whoever could untie it
would reign over his domain. |
| For many years
ambitious wannabes tried and failed. Alexander the
Great finally solved the riddle ... he withdrew his sword
and cut through the tangle at a blow. |
| |
| Inside the box is a
small Morris bell that artist David Lawrence, an avid
Morris dancer, found lying on the pavement one summer. |
| David's trademark
acorn is hidden in the loops of yarn. |
| |
| Hallmarks include the
copyright sign, a peace sign, the HBC logo, and DL. |
