Vintage Shona Verdite Hippo With A Calming ExpressionA beautifully vintage carved verdite hippo, sourced from South Africa and shaped in the classic rounded style associated with Shona stone carving. His smooth, fatbellied form and quietly smiling expression give him a wonderfully calm presence, the sort of piece that feels instantly at home wherever you place him. Verdite is a naturally occurring green stone prized for its depth of colour and soft satin polish. This hippo shows those qualities
