    I found this cheerful little pig and monkey sculpture at a thrift store. It is small, maybe 3 or 4 inches. I liked the fun energy of it. I think perhaps it could have to do with Japanese folk culture, but I really don't know. I tried searching online for it, but I can't find anything. I thought maybe someone here might know. There are no marks or labels on it anywhere.

      Interesting. You get four images. Can we see images of the back and sides?

      I did not realize I could add more. I just uploaded three more photos.

      There is a Japanese parable about monkeys and a pig:

      https://www.nga.gov/features/life-of-animals-in-japanese-art.html

      "Monkeys may also embody heroic qualities. Here, the monkey king Son Gok? wears a tiger skin and—wielding a magic wand—transforms his fur into an army of small monkeys to battle Chohakkai (at top). This pig later becomes a friend and joins him on a quest to locate sacred scriptures in India."
