The Nile Hippopotamus - Handcrafted Egyptian Sculpture

Description :

Rare item – Very limited stock

This hippopotamus sculpture embodies an ethnic and original elegance, blending ancient tradition and artisanal modernity.

Smaller and sleeker than our Royal Hippopotamus, this model stands out for its unique character. It reveals the purity of its lines and the vibrant intensity of its blue hue. It evokes quiet power and renewal, like the sacred hippopotamuses of ancient Egypt.

Handcrafted by artist Salah Sayed from soapstone from the Egyptian Eastern Desert, it is the result of ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation. Each piece is unique, marked by the hand of the artisan.

Covered with a quartz and copper glaze, then fired at high temperature using the ancient Egyptian faience method, it combines brilliance, strength and authenticity.

Whether on a shelf, desk, or coffee table, this hippopotamus brings a touch of history, symbolism, and beauty to your space.
