Sculpted pig’s head – wall-mounted vintage curiosity with character
CHF 230
A fantastically expressive sculpted pig’s head, full of character, mystery, and good humour.
Made of a lightweight composite material (possibly papier-mâché or plaster over form), with a crackled, timeworn painted surface, this piece has the look of an old fairground prop, butcher shop sign, or theatrical display — though its exact origin remains unknown.
Roughly the size of a small real piglet’s head, it’s surprisingly light for its scale — making it perfect for wall mounting or tabletop display. Now mounted on a sleek black wooden board, it’s ready for a new home where its charm and cheeky smile can be fully appreciated.
This little piggy went to the market — and now he’s ready for your wall.
