Sousoší přeštických černostrakatých prasat, Bronze pig sculpture in Přeštice, Czech Republic
The sculpture features two black-spotted Přeštice pigs, crafted in glazed stoneware, measuring 75 centimeters in height and 120 centimeters in width and depth.
The sculpture was created in 1957 for an agricultural exhibition that introduced the newly bred Přeštice black-spotted pig breed to the public.
The monument represents the agricultural heritage of the region and commemorates the Přeštice pig breed, which became a recognized symbol of local farming traditions.
The sculpture stands near the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, along the main road connecting Přeštice to Klatovy, with easy access by public transport.
During the 2020 pandemic, local residents adorned the pig statues with protective face masks, transforming them into a reflection of contemporary events.
