Crafted from glass, this exquisite piece stands at an impressive size of 11x7.65x20 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The statuette portrays a symbol of power and royalty as it was commonly associated with Egyptian emblems during that era. The intricate details on the sculpture highlight the artist's skillful craftsmanship, capturing the essence of this magnificent creature with precision and finesse. In ancient Egyptian culture, hippos held great significance. They were often depicted as tomb figures or votive offerings due to their association with protection and fertility. This particular statuette also features other elements such as birds, wild animals, papyrus plants, and lotus flowers which further enhance its symbolic meaning.
