This yawning hippo trophy head makes a fun and striking decorative focus and is extraordinarily life-like in the details that artist Bongani Khumalo puts into his beaded wirework sculpture. It is made entirely by hand, from the wire outline which forms the 'frame', to the 'plastering' with grey and red glass beads.
Bongani has developed both standard and extra-large masterpiece versions of his hippo trophy head.
