The Tythe Pig (or Tithe Pig) refers to a famous satirical antique, most commonly found as a pottery or porcelain figure group from the 18th and 19th centuries. It depicts a humorous folk story used to mock the mandatory "tithe" tax, which required farmers to give 10% of their agricultural produce to the local church
