A hippopotamus lying horizontally, head raised, mouth slightly open — mirror-polish silver with textured skin folds, the "submerged" pose keeping most of the animal's bulk low and grounded the way a real hippo rests in water. At 0.9 kilograms. Sized to live on a bookshelf or credenza, close enough to appreciate the detail. Like the rest of D'Argenta's silver-finished work, a soft dry cloth keeps the surface bright; avoid abrasive polishes that can dull the detail. A natural pick for anyone building a collection of D'Argenta's animal-form work. Handcrafted by D'Argenta in Mexico. Curated by Venustare. Signed, with Certificate of Authenticity.
