<p>:: Vintage handmade bronze casting of a miniature hippopotamus with dusty patina. Circa mid 20th century and possibly older, this piece has such incredible handmade charm and no two are identical. As this item is in vintage condition, it may show signs of age and use. Possibly an example of an Ashanti gold weight, or Mbramoo, which were used in the measuring of gold and gold dust. Create a scene of wildlife with many of our vintage African animal sculptures or add just one to the shelf, these are beautiful collectibles that you or someone you love will cherish forever. You may receive one that is slightly different than the one photographed since we have multiples of this item. Please contact us prior to purchase if you would like us to send additional snapshots of the one we would be sending. Size measures: 1.75" x 1" x .5".</p> <p><em>Item ID: <strong> ab00456 </strong></em></p>
