A hippopotamus emerging from a shallow base, head and torso rising as if from water or mud — at 0.58 kilograms, the heaviest of D'Argenta's three related "submerged hippo" figures, distinguished by its more upright, emerging posture. Its scale suits a shelf or side table, though it draws the eye regardless. Handcrafted by D'Argenta in Mexico. Curated by Venustare. Signed, with Certificate of Authenticity.
