This whimsical ceramic sculpture, "Two Pigs on Seesaw (or What Oh She Bumps)- still bank", is a playful example of early 20th-century American folk art. Created by an anonymous artist around 1930, the piece depicts two charming pigs perched on a seesaw formed by a green leaf. The inscription "What oh she bumps" and the number "500,000" likely refer to a game or children's rhyme popular at the time. The piece, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a charming and playful reminder of the enduring appeal of folk art.
