WARTHOG HENKMAM CLAY SCULPTURE WITH BRONZE COATING ON WOODEN WALL MOUNT

THIS IS A VERY LIFELIKE CLAY SCULPTURE OF AN WARTHOG SIGNED BY HENKMAM.
CLAY SCULPTURES OF A WARTHOGS ARE RARELY SEEN. BUT THEY MAKE SUCH STRIKING SCULPTURES.
I DO NOT KNOW IF ONLY AIR DRYED OR OVEN FIRED OR BOTH BUTTHEY ARE OF HIGH QUALITY AND VERY HARD. THESE ARE NOT YOUR AVERAGE ANIMAL BUSTS. THIS ONE LOOKS TO BE STAINED OR COATED WITH A BRONZE FINISH. AND OF COARSE SKILLFULLY HANDMADE BY THE ARTIST.
MOUNTED STRONGLY AND SECURELY ON A PIECE OF HARDWOOD WITH A MOUNTING WALL BRACKET AT BACK.
HISTORY: I HAVE 7 CLAY SCULPTURES ON AUCTION THIS WEEK (ELEPHANT, LION, LEOPARD, CARACAL, HIPPO, WARTHOG AND RHINO). THEY WERE BOUGHT ON AUCTION.
I WAS TOLD THEY CAME FROM A STORAGE UNIT OWNED BY A MAN FROM ENGLAND AND WERE ON THEIR WAY TO ENGLAND BUT WITH ALL THE LOCKDOWNS THEY ENDED UP ON AUCTION.
THE ARTIST: I CAN ONLY ASSUME THEY WERE MADE BY AN SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST. THREE OF THE SEVEN CLAY SCULPTURES (WARTHOG, HIPPO AND LEOPARD) IS SIGNED BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE HENKMAM (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS I AM ADDING THE HIPPO SIGNATURE PHOTO AS WELL).
WHAT STRIKES ME ABOUT THESE CLAY SCULPTURES IS NOT ONLY THAT THEY ARE VISUALLY APPEALING AND VERY SKILLFULLY AND REALISTICALLY DONE BUT IT IS THE SMELL OF CLAY THAT STAYS WITH ME.
SIZE OF WARTHOG MOUNTED: 10CM WIDE 23CM HIGH 15CM DEEP
CONDITION: EXCELLENT CONDITION. NO DAMAGE THAT I CAN SEE.
PLEASE ALSO SEE MY OTHER ITEMS LISTED. I HAVE 7 CLAY ANIMAL BUSTS ON AUCTION THIS WEEK.
