Adorable Greek Pottery Rattle - Chubby Pig Form

Item Details

Description

Greece, possibly Greek Cyprus, ca. 600 to 200 BCE. A child's toy in the shape of a pig, probably mold made and with a pebble sealed within. He has delightful applied eyes, nose, pointed ears, and curly tail and stands on four splayed feet. Holes drilled in top and bottom were probably put in place to prevent this little piggy from breaking in the kiln. We believe that a toy like this was made for a toddler, and their sound was thought to ward off evil spirits. Size: 3.2" L x 2.1" W x 2.45" H (8.1 cm x 5.3 cm x 6.2 cm)
