African Soapstone Hand Carved Reclining Hippopottamus 5-1/4" by 4-1/2" by 2"

Description

This listing is for a carved soapstone hippopotamus figurine. The dark brown reclining carved hippo shows nice detail and expression. It measures approximately 5-1/4" by 4-1/2" by 2". It is in very good condition.  There is some roughness in the stone on the back side and you will see several white chips. These white chips are superficial and are mainly a loss of color. It would be very simple to add color back to these spots. This figure would make a handsome paperweight or desk accessory.
