Rhinoceros Figurine Appraisal

Ecko Unltd. Red Rhinoceros Desktop Figurine

This item is a desktop figurine or promotional display featuring a rhinoceros, rendered in a striking matte red finish. The rhinoceros is depicted in a stylized, somewhat squat stance, characteristic of the Ecko Unltd. brand's 'Rhino' logo. Physical characteristics include its solid red color throughout, with a smooth, possibly rubberized or matte plastic texture, given the lack of sheen. The construction appears to be a single-piece mold, suggesting it is made from a durable polymer or similar material. It features two prominent horns on its snout, a typical anatomical feature of a rhinoceros. The most distinguishing element is the white Ecko Unltd. 'unltd. by marc eckō' logo, prominently displayed on its side. This logo includes the iconic rhinoceros head graphic within a rectangular outline, followed by the text 'unltd.' in a stylized font and 'by marc eckō' in a smaller, sans-serif font below. Visible condition issues are minimal; the matte surface appears relatively clean with no obvious scratches, chips, or significant wear. There are subtle contours and muscle definitions sculpted into the figure, indicating a degree of attention to detail in its design despite its promotional nature. This item likely dates from the period when Ecko Unltd. was a popular streetwear brand, placing its estimated age perhaps from the late 1990s to the 2010s. Its robust build and clear branding suggest it was intended for display, possibly as a collectible or a promotional item within retail environments or for brand enthusiasts. The quality of craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced branded merchandise, focusing on clear representation of the brand's mascot.
