Fine Cold Painted Metal Pig
This is a wonderful, small sculpture of a fine fat sow. The pig is seated on a black oval base, one leg tucked under. Very well cast, realistically modelled and painted. The paint is nearly all intact, with a little wear on the high spots, some hand grime, and some paint has crusted up near the mouth. This pig has a terrific tail. The metal is probably spelter, but I do not know what the base is other than it is not marble. Nothing to indicate the country of origin, but I associate this kind of pig in particular with French things. It is probably 20th century, though early-ish. The pig on the base measures 4" across and 3" high.
