  • "Artrageous" would be a better title - just adorable!

    My larger Kenya Hippo has a baby now. I just adore my hippos. I also bought several of the larger Hippos for gifts - and know I will buy more of the babies, too. Each little baby hippo I have seen is different - such great fun! My "Grand Niece" likes to play with the hippo I bought for my brother, so I am buying a small hippo for her (for Christmas --- as she sang a song for me "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" - so she shall get one).

SKU# 4122050

Outrageous can be oh-so-fun, like this fat little delightful hippopotamus. Carved dark kisii stone, hand-painted in assorted splashy designs.

Kisii soapstone, found only in Kenya, is a soft stone, easy to carve into many forms. Its satiny finish is achieved through multiple stages of sanding, followed by waxing. In some cases, as with this piece, artisans also apply paint.
  • Kisii stone
  • Assorted patterns
  • 2.5Lx1.25Wx1.5H inches
  • Made in Kenya
