Two very impressive large vintage mid century Hippopotamus carvings.
A mother and her calf.
Hand crafted in Zimbabwe.
Solid Teak, Mum is exceptionally heavy I would estimate about 65 kg! Both carved from solid pieces of wood.
Absolutely stunning pieces and would look great in any room of the house.
Very good vintage condition with some age related wear. Some nibbles to the feet and Mum has been mounted on plastic dics to prevent marking the surface she's placed on. Baby has one hind leg which is slightly shorter than the other, Please refer to the photos.
Mum - 83 cm long, 40 cm tall.
Baby - 48 cm long, 26 cm tall.
Due to the weight of these items they are for collection only from Malmesbury, Wiltshire.
