夹碳黑陶。猪吻部前凸微上翘，脊梁耸挺，腹部丰臃下垂，四肢粗壮有力，作奔走状。形体介于野猪与现代家猪之间，形态逼肖可掬。
猪在史前曾一度被视为神圣的祈雨灵物，继后又成为财富乃至权力与地位的象征。
The original object, 6.3 cm long and 4.5 cm tall, was unearthed in the fourth layer of the Hemudu site in 1973 (7,000 - 6,500 years ago), and is currently in the collection of Zhejiang Provincial Museum.
The pig is very vivid and realistic. Made with charcoal-tempered black pottery, the pig is in the form of running with longer and slightly upturned snout, straight spine, bloated and sagging abdomen , and short and sturdy legs. It is between a wild boar and a modern domestic pig.
In prehistory, the pig was once regarded as a sacred animal for rain praying, and later became a symbol of wealth, power and status.
