This magnificent sculpture has been hand crafted from recycled oil drums & mild steel. The artist has captured the gentle kind soul with the strength & muscle of a Hippo . As our sculptures are hand crafted, no two pieces are ever the same, so this really is a unique piece of art. The sculpture has been coated with yacht varnish to enhance the appearance & also protect from the elements. After 12 - 18 months we recommend re-coating with an exterior varnish/lacquer to protect it, & to retain this finish approx 49 inches tall The photos are for illustration purposes only, you will receive a similar item to the one in the photo. Each of these products are handcrafted from recycled steel such as oil drums, cars & old white goods amongst other things. Some items may have holes in the steel from the previous purpose that it was used for or age, it will be solid & last for many years. There may also be blemishes or some colour on the steel this enhances the product & shows it truly is a recycled one off piece & doesn't detract from its beauty. If you would like us to try & find a piece without colour on it please say so in the notes section. We are happy for you to return any item at your cost if you are not happy with the colour etc but this is not classed as a fault so we are unable to cover the cost. Delivery not included.
