Not only does this piece show a mastery of carving, it represents the colors of soapstone consistent with the region in Kenya where it was both mined and carved.

Hand carved by the Kissi people from the region of Kenya, this Hippopotamus measures 9 1/2” long, 4” wide, and about 4 1/2” Tall. It weights an astonishing 6.53 pounds. The colors are 100% natural.

The polish is very nice yielding a gentle shine.

My items are always packaged very well. Rest assured it will get to you in one piece.

Every piece is inspected prior to complete wrapping for safe transit to your collection.

I have been representing art collections for over 30 years. Please ask questions should you have any. Thank you for looking.
