A characterful vintage miniature depicting a hippopotamus, handmade in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy between the 1960s and 1970s in genuine Italian silver.
The figurine captures the compact strength and distinctive proportions of the animal, with a low, rounded body and carefully shaped head. The detailing brings out key features such as the mouth, eyes, and surface texture, giving the piece a lively and slightly playful presence despite its solid form.
The workmanship is confident and well defined, typical of mid century Italian silver production. Its noticeable weight and compact size make it a satisfying piece to handle, while the level of detail elevates it beyond a simple decorative object.
