The bronze statue with the title "Halt ie het?" consists of a bronze patinated and polished hippopotamus that balances on a stainless steel construction. A total of 4 were made, of which 2 on stainless steel. Despite 4 copies, each copy is unique in finish and base because they were not cast in series. A nice detail (joke from the artist) is that each hippopotamus has a loose piece of bronze in its belly that makes a sound when you shake it.
