This gorgeous handcrafted Pig is definitely one of a kind. Carved out of the Kawakawa Greenstone the deep, rich shade of green is magnificent. In ancient China the Pig was seen to be a symbol of wealth and was placed into the hands of the deceased as an expression of their desire for wealth in the afterlife. A skilfully crafted piece, one to be treasured.
