Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a pig in a profile view with a round body, four legs, ears, a snout, and a curled tail. It is made of metal with a worn, coppery brown color and patches of green patina. The pig is two-dimensional and mounted on a horizontal bar, suggesting it could be a weathervane. Its proportions and texture give it a rustic appearance, and the detailing, like the eye and segmented snout, adds to its lifelike quality.
