Hand carved in Maple wood and hand painted by professional artists. Made in Italy.Â
Tantony is a shorted form of the name of St. Anthony the Abbot,[1] a prominent figure among the Desert Fathers. It is used in reference to the attributes by which the saint is represented. These primarily are the Tantony Pouch, Tantony Bell (a small church bell), Tantony Pig (the smallest pig of the litter).
Anthony became the patron saint of swineherds, due to the reported relationship a pig had with him in keeping him attuned to the hours of the day for his prayers, one of several animals who played a role in his life. Thus he is most frequently represented as accompanied by a pig.[2]
This statue of Saint Anthony the Abbot with Pig is available in various sizes.
