“This is a unique piece to add to my hippo collection”

I love this piece! It s beautiful and it arrived quickly! My only “complaint” is that it has a really strong odor…like gasoline…I assume it s some sort of polish…I have had it disassembled since it arrived…hoping to air it out. Ot

“Hippo Puzzle Box”

This is the cutest yet delicately made puzzle box. It is a masterful piece of workmanship and I really, really like it. There is quite a large space in the inside where one can put money or jewelry for a more special gift. Thank you Mr. Wirata, your workmanship is excellent. I am very happy with my purchase.

very well made very cute and wood is smooth to put an item in the inside space or just use as a puzzle This was a gift for Grandson Occasion: Christmas
