Pig
<p>This pig statuette was produced in Boeotia, a region of ancient Greece known for its prolific output of terracotta figurines. The pig was a common sacrificial offering, and figurines may have served as votive offerings in place of live sacrifices. Examples of pig-shaped children's toys and sippy cups are also known.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/48.2450' rel='external'>Pig</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
