24k Gold Hippopotamus Statue

Small hippopotamus figurines were placed in Egyptian tombs as symbols of regeneration and rebirth, often decorated with lotus flowers and aquatic plants to represent their connection to the life-giving Nile.

These protective statuettes were believed to transfer qualities of life and renewal to their owners, though their legs were often deliberately broken off to neutralize any potential destructive powers while maintaining their beneficial aspects. Finished with real 24k gold!
