Finely made pig cutting board found in upstate N.Y. State. Carved in relief out of maple. Measures 21 1/2" long by 8 1/2" high at top of head and 10" high at rump. When we got it, the rear foot that appears ahead of the other rear foot was missing. We carved a new one and attached it in place (the photo of the back side of the board shows this junction, which is quite secure). There are multiple knife marks on the back side of the board, indicating that it was well used. Probably dates to the early-mid 20th century. Terrific example of functional American folk art.
