Wall altar. SACRIFICE FOR THE CHAIN PIG with Danish cross and Dutch clog. The animal that is ruthlessly sacrificed to man for the sake of commerce. The wall altar consists of a wooden box and is 5 cm deep with glass in front. It is intended to hang, but can also be placed standing. The object is wrapped with steel wire as a symbol of shackles. [Literally and figuratively] The pig itself has been given a steel collar. The Dutch export is symbolized in the clog and the cross symbolizes the sacrifice.
