Description: 

Due to high demand, it will be available again in a few weeks.

This hippopotamus sculpture embodies ethnic and original elegance, blending millennia-old tradition with artisanal modernity.

Smaller and more refined than our Royal Hippopotamus, this model stands out for its distinctive character. It reveals the purity of its lines and the vibrant intensity of its bluish hue. It evokes calm power and renewal, like the sacred hippopotamuses of ancient Egypt.

Handcrafted by artist Salah Sayed from steatite sourced in the Egyptian Eastern Desert, it is the result of ancestral craftsmanship passed down through generations. Each piece is unique, marked by the artisan’s hand.

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

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