A hand-carved hardwood figure depicting a stylised pig or boar in a crouching posture. The piece is fashioned from a single block of wood, displaying a prominent grain throughout the body. The form features a rounded posterior with a small, curved tail and a tapered head terminating in a flat snout. Decorative elements consist of shallow V-shaped incised marks along the flanks, suggesting bristles or a repeating pattern. The wood is finished with a warm brown stain and a polished surface. Contrasting dark brown and red stains have been applied to the ears and the tip of the snout, respectively. No maker marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the upper surfaces of the object.
