Vintage Bronze Hippo, Mali, 1960’s

Handmade, mid‑20th‑century African hippo figurine with an oxidized surface and a compact, tactile form. The piece measures 0.75" × 2.5" × 1" and belongs to a group of similar vintage animal sculptures; each example bears slight variations in finish, proportion, and detail. As a vintage object it shows signs of age and use consistent with its history, and the photographed example may not be identical to the item received. Sold individually under a parent listing with multiple variants, this small figurine is a quietly expressive study in handwork and patina.
