New Statuette Of A Hippopotamus Sculpture Sculpture

Ceramic Hippopotamus Sculpture

Since Its Arrival At The Museum In 1917 The Egyptian Faience Sculpture Has Been A Favorite With Visitors, And For Many Years Has Been Known As “William” The Metropolitan’S Unofficial Mascot. Like The Original, Our Figurine Is Decorated With Drawings Of Lotus Blossoms And Marsh Plants Which Remind Us Of His Favorite Habitat, The Shallow Banks Of The Nile River.
