Due to its success, 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 unique character. It reveals the purity of its lines and the vibrant intensity of its bluish hue. It evokes quiet power and renewal, like the sacred hippopotamuses of ancient Egypt.

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

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