This single study toad box figurine was carved to commemorate one of Peter’s very first and still beloved
pieces – “Princely Thoughts”. Like its predecessor, it does not incorporate Peter’s signature hidden mouse
or secrets. “Samsara” derives from the Sanskrit word samsarah, meaning cycle of life. Does this allude to
a toad becoming a prince in roundabout homage to “Princely Thoughts”, or is it a broader statement on the
meaning of existence? Either way, the lovely simplicity of the piece is without doubt. And some of HK’s
earliest collectors may find themselves overwhelmed with nostalgia.
