Tiny Ivory Pig Navajo pin it would be especially greatI don't know anything about this history of this tiny carved pig, presumed to be ivory, but I think it's pretty great! I found it at an estate sale of a man who served in Japan during WWII and brought a lot back with him, which may be where this little guy came from. 1 3 8" long x 3 8" wide x 7 8" tall and in great vintage condition.
