Description: William the Hippo- Ancient Egyptian figurine - The little hippopotamus figurine was made in Egypt around 1961 (BC not the 60s!)–1878 B.C. and placed in a tomb to magically guarantee the rebirth of the deceased. Several thousand years passed before it was excavated (in 1910) and became part of The Met collection (in 1917)
