Pig — Proper Little Character

Pale cream and warm brown marbled over a curved steel body, darker at the legs and seams, curly looped tail at the rear — this pig has the breed’s compact, self-satisfied quality exactly right. Four hooves planted, snout forward, ears flopped. Suits a kitchen garden, a farmhouse border, or anywhere that could use a bit of personality at ground level. The kind of piece that makes people smile before they’ve even stopped walking.
