Piggy bank
In New Guinea, pigs play an important role as prestige objects and as exchange commodities. They are an important part of the male trade and relationship network. However, pigs are raised by women. The interpretation of the pig motif as a piggy bank is a new idea and has been realised creatively by high school students in Papua New Guinea.
