Jest Series |

Calvesbert |
| Made in England |
| Peter Calvesbert
likes to watch TV wildlife documentaries, and in this box
figurine, he turns the table by giving the zebra the
chance to dominate its predator. Here the zebra sits
firmly upon a lioness that has Swiss Army knife claws, a
bandage from a previous wound, and a pierced tongue. |
| Under the front leg
of the zebra, the mouse makes a full appearance, baring
paws, stomach, bottom and tail as he mirrors the zebra's
courage. |
| Around the base of
the lid is the Latin inscription, "Mites possidebunt
terram", meaning "The meek shall inherit the earth". |
| |
| Because of production
difficulties, the area between the zebra's neck and chin
were filled in on version 2. Also the base of the
lid was lengthened to increase stability. This box
is a version 1. |
| |
| Hallmarks include the
copyright mark, a heart, the HBC logo, edition number, and PC. |
| This one has a number
1. |
