Small brass pig with a passenger

[PikesPeakCharlie]

A friend was going through some of his late mothers box's this morning and found this little brass pig, he brought it over hoping I could give him some info on it . I told him I'm pretty sure it was quite collectable , but didn't know much else. Can anyone provide an age and appx value on this piece. Thanks !

Are there any manufacturer markings on it??

Do an internet search on 'Black Americana boy riding a pig'. It was, apparently, a popular theme.

Pretty sure it's not Muslim.
I kid, I kid. That is one well detailed casting, looks very realistic. I saw one online made of cast iron, and poorly made at that,
yours has to have some decent value.
Trade some bottles for it!
