Pig still bank c. 20th century

This 20th-century ceramic "Pig still bank" is a charming example of folk art. The anonymous artist crafted the pig from brown clay and glazed it with a white-streaked brown glaze. The pig features a rounded body and a small slot on its back, and it stands on four short legs. The piece is a testament to the enduring popularity of the pig as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in folk art traditions. It is currently held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
