Ceramic Hippo and Frog rider sculpture, Hand made in South Africa
About the Item
This playful ceramic sculpture captures a whimsical moment from the heart of the African wild: a jubilant frog perched triumphantly atop a hippo’s back, leaf in hand as if leading a parade. Entirely hand-sculpted and painted in South Africa by the artists of Zimele Ceramics, the piece brings together two contrasting creatures in joyful harmony. The hippo, with its textured surface and subtle blush tones, supports the energetic frog, whose vibrant green patterning and expressive posture evoke movement and delight. Every detail—from the frog’s tiny red parcel to the flowering leaf—adds character and story to this collectible artwork. One-of-a-kind and full of personality, this piece celebrates the imagination and craftsmanship behind Zimele’s distinctive style.
