We present a unique and controversial collectible item – a figural piggy bank in the form of a depiction of a Black man, dating from the 20th century. This artifact is a material trace of a bygone era, reflecting the contemporary ideas, prejudices, and conventions of the production of devotional and utility objects. Today it is primarily seen as an object of cultural, historical, and collecting research, illustrating the evolution of social awareness.

The piggy bank is made of cast iron and features styling typical of such products. Due to its content, this item qualifies as a so-called "politically incorrect" souvenir, sought after by collectors dealing with social history, stereotypes, vintage advertising, and functional art of past decades. Its value lies not in the aesthetic approval of the depiction, but in its significance as a document of its time.

In the offer of our store "Lapidarium", we treat this item exclusively as a historical museum and collectible specimen. We offer it to knowledgeable collectors, researchers, and institutions that gather material evidence of the past for educational, scientific, or collecting purposes. The condition is typical for the age of the item (possible signs of use, soiling), which confirms its authenticity.

Purchasing such an object is an investment in a unique fragment of 20th-century material culture, which provokes reflection on social and image changes. We guarantee the authenticity and legal provenance of the item.
