A set of four Fratelli Mannelli Rhino or Buffalo. Graduating in size to form a nice little herd. Brutalist simplicity, materials to the fore and a clever design.

The original Frattelli Mannelli animals were just a few species but the variety grew over the years. These are likely late 1970s.

MEASURES

The largest is 14.5 cm long x 8.3 cm tall x 3 cm thick. They graduate down to the baby, at 7 cm long x 4.3 cm tall x 2.8 cm thick.

CONDITION

Travertine limestone, with a rough surface, no chipping or losses. Raw Travertine to has natural cavities and fissures. I've tried to illustrate their appearance as clearly as possible. Feel free to ask for more images if you have specific queries.

NOTE

The color tone of the images has been influenced by a nearby red brick wall, giving the animals a pink cast in some images. The plain putty/stone colors in the lighter photos is a most accurate representation of the color.
