Bronze Pig?

[mountainplayer]

All we know is that this appears to be made of bronze. We can't find any marks indicating who might have made it.

This thing is heavy, and sounds hollow. Even though the pic of the base looks like it might be made of wood, it's definitely some type of metal. It might have an applied base of some kind. There's also something on its back that looks like it might be the start of a money slot for a piggy bank.

Sorry for the big pics. I'm on my buddy's computer and he has no photo edit software.

Cute little bugger .. It wouldn't by chance be bronze over a plaster cast, would it?

The color and texture match my baby shoes that my parents had bronzed to many years ago to count.
Maybe somebody had a piggy bank bronzed? You say that you think it's hollow. Can you hear anything rattling around in it?
