everything Hippo

The hand-sculpted hippo pendant was the first piece of jewelry I made, after decades working in large-scale sculpture: I have always loved hippos with their strangely endearing and iconic shape and their rounded contours, and then I found out the hippopotamus was revered as a protective deity for women and children in several ancient cultures, due to its fiercely maternal nature. The perfect little companion!
