This early 20th-century cast-iron still bank, titled "Decker's Iowana," is a delightful example of folk art, depicting a stylized pig. The bank's surface has a rich, rusty patina, adding to its charm. The inscription "Decker's Iowana" suggests a connection to a local business or individual, highlighting its potential as a collectible or piece of Americana. This small-scale object, crafted for practical use as a piggy bank, demonstrates the ingenuity and creative spirit of anonymous artisans of the time.
