Carved wooden figure of a pig. There are triangular indentations along both sides which are painted with white paint, some of which has rubbed off. There are two swirling indentations on the top of the object which are also painted with white paint. The eyes on the face are also painted white. The wood seems to be stained with a dark brown stain, but has scratches over the surface as though it has been sanded. There is also a patch on the back which has lost its staining.
