Kay Bojesen was a Danish designer who loved wood and, in the 1930s he started to design wooden figures, starting with a dog and adding to the collection over two decades until by the 1950s he had created a diverse family of animals including a monkey, hippopotamus (used as a pencil holder by the designer) and bear.

This little river hog sits on my desk with a pencil in its mouth. It makes me feel very happy just looking at it. Amazon's price for this river horse was fantastic and more that 50% cheaper than other places. Well done Amazon.

This is a lovely figure, very solid and is matt black so that you can write on him with the chalk, the mouth opens and closes. He comes beautifully presented. I bought him as a gift and the receivers were delighted with him

Gorgeous little chap that would make a wonderful present for youngsters or oldsters. Smaller than I imagined but cuter than the pics.
