The Flying Hippo Maquette

My Flying Hippo is a medium sized maquette in cast bronze. Female Hippo is swimming gracefully through the air, weightless as if immersed in water.

Size; L/B/h 64/51/80cm in a patinated stainless steel box; 40/40/10cm

My choice of patina, a deep ferric red to purple resembles their natural colour while emphasizing volume with greens, yellows to turquoise in the dark recesses.

In anticipation of a large Flying Hippopotamus, watch this space…

Crocodile maquette is a bronze maquette size; l/b/h 30/30/45 cm on top of its base 21/21/9.5cm

In anticipation of a garden sized crocodile,

What a delightful character!
