Description: Nicely hand-carved African Sandstone Figure of a sleeping (reclining) Hippopotamus. The stone is a rich cream colour with a few darker veins going through them. Not signed, but retaining the labels from when they were acquired in Lusaka, Zambia in 1983. Condition: Good used condition, with no damage, mostly polished to a very tactile smoothness but there are a few minor chisel marks around the face. Size: Length: 14cm (5.5") Width: 9cm (3.5") Weight: 597grams. Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE Most of the items I sell are vintage and therefore not new and not always perfect. I describe everything to the best of my ability and do try to note all wear and tear. Please examine photographs, these will show the item in detail and I take photos from all sides. If you have any questions - please do ask. Since June 2020 I have been suffering with Long Covid, and although things are getting easier, I still have some days when I am not able to do anything. So, if I do not respond instantly to an e-mail or take a few days to post an item I hope that you have some understanding and allow me some extra time deal with it. Thank you. POSTAGE: I try to post twice a week, but I have a full-time job, so there may be slight holdups. I cannot control how long any postal service will take to deliver. Please bear this in mind when purchasing and leaving feedback. Although I often quote postage for Evri or Yodel, I sometimes send smaller items via the Royal Mail, if I can box them within the RM's size restrictions. Postage is quoted for mainland UK only. Delivery to any remote area or off-shore island is dependent on weight and services, please contact me for a quote before purchasing. For international I used the e-bay Global Posting Service which also takes care of customs declarations and costs. There are also restrictions to sending perfumes internationally. They will be posted entirely at your own risk, although I always try to pack with plenty of bubble wrap, packing peanuts and solid boxes. I am happy to combine postage if several items are bought, so do check out my other listings. Thank you for looking.
