HIPPOPOTAMUS Supine and Barking
SKU: SSA.R.FA.AHb.JB

Shona sculptures impress, stimulate, and inspire. The Shona sculptor, John Banda and his team of Harare, carved the about 6" (150mm) long stone fine art sculpture of a supine barking hippopotamus from a solid piece or raw soapstone(steatite) known locally as rapoko. They skillfully capture with great detail Africa's most feared and dangerous animal sunbathing and barking. As home or office décor the sculpture makes an excellent coffee table or bookshelf ornament. Also a great paper weight for the office. Suitable unique and unusual gift for all ages.

Admired by Picasso and many other artists and sculptors, many critics view Shona sculptors to be the world’s current era of greatest rock artists and sculptors. Being hand carved from raw stone, no two sculptures, however similar, even by the same artist/sculptor, are identical.

This magnificent example of the Shona talent sells for more than $150 in USA, EU, and Asian art galleries. We are able to offer them at moderate prices by contracting directly with the sculptor at
fair trade prices. A professional geologist has notarized the certificate of authenticity, origin, and appraised value for each sculpture that is available for a small additional fee and highly recommended for insurance purposes. Type 'yes' or 'y' in box next to Cert. origin/value $20.00 if you want the certificate.

Full description of sculpture in generic photograph. Photographs for Product A through C are the actual piece on offer i.e. WYSIWYG (do not order if quantity shows BACKORDERED rather select "Any Barking Hippo").

If the item quantity is two ( 2) or more and you'd like to personally select your beautiful sculpture, write your email address in the box Send photos. At least two and no more than five different sculptures photographs will be sent to you for your consideration. The small additional $5 fee is to cover our administration costs.

These hippopotamus sculptures are very popular, if the quantity states backordered, instead of a number, it is unfortunately sold out. A similar supine hippo can be ordered (click on the backordered link for details) from John and takes between ten to 14 weeks. If backorder not wanted, remove the item/s from the shopping cart or at checkout.
