■ For the discerning collector! Hippopotamus – Hippo Seal Stamp

■ One of the representative materials for tusk-type seals – Hippopotamus (Hippo) Tusk

Among the typical seal materials for tusk-type seals, there are elephants and hippopotamuses (hippos).

Currently, under the Law for the Conservation of Endangered Species, elephants are designated as internationally rare wild flora and fauna, and the domestic trade of individuals including ivory is generally prohibited.

The seal material made from hippopotamus (hippo) tusks is gaining significant attention.

★ The hippopotamus (hippo) seal stamp has a texture and volume similar to the finest elephant ivory, with high hardness, durability, and elegance—top-notch quality.

■ Hippopotamus (Hippo)

An animal that inhabits rivers and swamps in Africa, measuring about 4.2 meters in length and weighing up to 4 tons, making it the second-largest land mammal after the elephant.
