This unique and detailed solid wood carving of a walking rhino will bring a fun and cultural touch to brighten up any room in your home.
Rhinos once roamed many places throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa and were known to early Europeans who depicted them in cave paintings. At the beginning of the 20th century, 500,000 rhinos roamed Africa and Asia but by 1970, rhino numbers dropped had to 70,000, and today, around only 27,000 rhinos remain in the wild.
The English name for this animal with a horn or horns on its snout was borrowed from Latin rhinoceros. The Latin name, in turn, came from the Greek word rhinokerōs, which literally means "nose-horned." This word is made up of the Greek word rhin-, rhis, meaning "nose" and the word keras, meaning "horn."
This rhino has been hand carved in Bali, and then carefully hand painted and given a rustic style finish.
