Two-Tone Brass Winged Pig Figurine, Hand-Cast in Bali

Description

This little flying pig is hand-cast in solid brass using the traditional lost-wax method, its feathered wings and richly patterned saddle cloth carved into the mould by hand before the metal was ever poured. Look closely and you’ll find the warm brass catches light differently across its body — brighter gold along the snout and legs, deeper and almost silvery in the recessed patina of the wing feathers and scrollwork on its back, giving the piece a natural two-tone glow rather than a painted or plated effect.

The detailing is genuinely impressive for something this small: individually etched feather barbs, a scalloped saddle pattern with a bead-like trim, and perky little ears cast with real dimension. As with every hand-poured brass piece, this one carries the small marks of its making — tool lines, tiny surface pitting, faint casting seams — so no two pigs from this batch turn out perfectly identical, and slight shifts in shine or shading are simply part of how it was made, not a flaw to worry over.

Whimsical enough to make someone genuinely laugh when they unwrap it, this is a nice option if you’re hunting for something for the person on your list who already has every candle and coffee mug — a flying pig earns a spot on a shelf precisely because it doesn’t look like anything else there.

**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.
