Pigs are a symbol of wealth, good fortune, and prosperity in Chinese culture. The pig is the 12th animal in the Chinese zodiac. People born in the Year of the Pig are said to be generous, diligent, compassionate, and energetic. In ancient China, small pig statues were placed in the hands of the deceased to wish them wealth in the afterlife
This estate piece came from someone who loved representations of pigs, as she had collected many such pieces!
