Soapstone Yawning Hippopotamus
Russian Stone Figurines
|
This lovely figurine of an hippopotamus is made of soapstone, which is also known as steatite. This stone is soft to touch and gives the smooth feeling of rubbing a piece of dry soap. Hippopotamus is an amazing animal that lives both underwater and above ground and famous of its goodnature. That is why in the china mythology it is associated with earth (practicality and stability) and water (intuitive knowing) and teaches us how to integrate the qualities of both into our daily life. The hippopotamus figurine appeals to his owner to act upon their intuition but maintaining a practical grounded life style at the same time.
