This listing is for a rare miniature cherub riding a pig or hog while holding a whip and money bag. This beautifully detailed piece was made by the German silversmith Martin Mayer sometime around the 1890s in Mainz, Germany.
The base of this special piece measures 1 9/16" x 1 1/8" while the height is 1 1/2". This is well marked with Martin Mayer's hallmark of a wheel attached to a six-pointed star and the German silver marks of a crescent moon, crown and "800". This is in superb condition with no flaws.
