Large Italian Terra Cotta Hippopotamus
-
Description
This a wonderfully realistic ceramic sculpture of a hippopotamus. This is an unusually large figure that is beautifully detailed, i think she's a girl because of her soulful eyes. She would incorporate well into multiple design projects. Indoors or out--she makes a huge statement.
