The Metropolitan Museum of Art William Hippo Plush
24,00 USD
Description
This huggable hippopotamus references the famous "William®," an ancient Egyptian statuette in The Met collection. The beloved blue-glazed figurine was molded in faience, a ceramic material made from ground quartz, and forged circa 1961-1878 B. C. in Egypt's Middle Kingdom. Like the original William, our plush toy is decorated with lotus blossoms and marsh plants, which remind us of his habitat along the shallow banks of the Nile River.
