Lantien Shanfang Collection, acquired in Taipei in 1992

This jade carving, with a curved bodyline, shaped snout and tail,
is more realistically represented than most jade pigs from the
Han dynasty. A very similar jade pig dating to the late Eastern
Han dynasty was discovered from Tomb no. 1 in Dongyuancun in
Haoxian, Anhui province, illustrated in Zhongguo meishu quanji,
vol. 9, Jade, Beijing, 1986, pl. 195 (fig. 1).
