Appearance description of the Bronze Hippopotamus statue.

These three swimming hippo statues are made of bronze and consists of three hippos of different sizes. The image is very realistic and interesting. The three Bronze Hippopotamus sculptures present a typical “semi-submerged” posture, with only their heads and backs exposed, as if they are quietly observing the surrounding environment on the water surface. The overall appearance is smooth and heavy, with a dark brown bronze tone on the surface, simulating the wet and rough skin texture of the hippopotamus. The three hippos are relaxed, with rich facial details, and their ears, eyes and nostrils are carved vividly and naturally, showing their alertness when they live in the water.
