Description
There’s something irresistibly cheeky about a pig with wings, and this one carries it off with real character. Hand-cast in solid brass by artisans in Bali using the traditional lost-wax method, the figure pairs a darkened, almost oxidized body with brightly polished gold-toned wings and saddle detailing, giving it a striking two-tone finish that catches the light from every angle. The wings are worked with fine feather lines, and the pig’s back carries an ornate carved pattern reminiscent of Balinese textile motifs, right down to a small tail-mark left at the rear from the casting process.
Because the contrast between the black body and gold wings comes from hand-applied patina rather than machine coating, you’ll notice gentle unevenness in how the tones meet and blend across the surface – that’s the artisan’s hand at work, not a flaw. It’s a piece with genuine presence on a desk or shelf, equally at home as a quirky collectible or a quiet little talisman of good luck.
If you’re after a gift that isn’t another candle or coffee mug, this whimsical little pig makes a memorable one for someone who appreciates offbeat, well-made objects – a birthday or ‘just because’ gift with a story behind it.
The Artisan’s Mark
Each figure begins as molten brass, poured by hand using traditional lost-wax casting. Small casting marks, subtle variation in the patina, and slight differences in weight or finish are the natural result of this process — not imperfections, but the artisan’s signature on every piece.
