A paper hippopotamus trophy that commands attention
Massive, calm on the surface, almost mythical. This 3D origami hippopotamus head trophy is impossible to ignore once mounted on a wall. Every facet catches the light, every angle expresses the animal’s quiet power. Piece by piece, the form comes together and the silhouette gradually comes to life. A focused, hands-on moment—precise, almost meditative.
This model is made for lovers of bold interior design as well as creative hobbyists who enjoy tangible projects with a striking end result. If you’re drawn to animal wall sculptures, this trophy naturally belongs in the 3D animal origami collection, alongside other iconic heads to assemble.
Dimensions, pieces and model structure
Once completed, the trophy has a generous, well-balanced volume: 240 mm high, 210 mm wide and 440 mm deep. The sculpture is made up of 66 pieces, designed to create an expressive, detailed head without unnecessary complexity.
Two template layouts are included: 17 pages in A4 format or 9 pages in A3 format. The number of pieces remains the same; only the layout changes to suit your preferred working method.
Difficulty level and assembly experience
The difficulty is rated medium. Certain areas—such as the snout, eyes, or ears—require a bit more precision. Nothing overwhelming, but taking your time is recommended. That’s where the enjoyment lies: slowing down, focusing, and ending up with a result well worth the effort.
The model is single-color by design, giving you complete freedom over the final look. Clean and minimalist or more daring depending on the paper you choose, this trophy adapts easily to your interior and personal style.
