Peace on Earth -"Heavenly Slumber" by Duane Geisness. Second issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $70.00
Snuggled comfortably
together in a shallow cave
protected from heavy
snow driven by sharp winds
high in the Himalayas,
a mother snow leopard and
her yearling son share
a moment of tranquility.
"Heavenly Slumber" is the second issue in the Peace on Earth series of collector's plates and features an extremely rare member of the great wild feline family: the exotic snow leopard.
Generally snow leopards live alone, high in the mountains of Central Asia. After mating, two or three cubs are born at springtime. The youngsters usually remain with their mother for a year or more, then set out on their own.
Wildlife artist Duane Geisness perfectly captures the elegance and serenity of the snow leopards in this peaceful scene. "Heavenly Slumber" is a charming vision of the gentle side of these regal and endangered cats of the wilderness—a vision far from civilization. Preserved in fine porcelain, it is a wildlife portrait to treasure for many years to come.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° F by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
