About the Item

The first money-depositing object in the shape of a pig emerged in Java, Indonesia in the 14th century with the introduction of coins from China. Javanese Boars (Celeng)in the Majapahit kingdom symbolized good fortune and abundance. The hand built clay figurative tradition rendered in terracotta of a boar with a rounded body has a coin slot at the center of the spine. This particular piggy bank is thickly modeled and thus the slot at the back has been widened, and there is a large opening rendered on the underside. Intact banks such as this are rare since many were smashed in order to collect their contents. This larger sized boar, however, remains intact with great details in the face, collar and hooves, demonstrating a great level of artistic expertise. Measuring: 10 inches high x 14.5 inches long x 8.5inches wide. 17 lbs. 14th century. Provenance: Enrico Trisno Nyoto Wijoyo, Surabaya, Indonesia U.S.A. art market.
