介绍（中）	在东爪哇满者伯夷王国统治期间（十四世纪至十六世纪初），人们对一类显然来自西方存钱罐的物品产生了喜爱。许多兵马俑，自然主义的，通常雕刻得很好，顶部有插槽，以便它们可以用作硬币盒，已经从满者伯夷首府特罗乌兰附近发现。尽管猪一定在国内经济中发挥了重要作用，但这种动物形状在东爪哇的硬币盒中广受欢迎的原因尚不清楚。有人认为，这种形状非常适合暗示财务成功和美食，因为猪肉，尤其是乳猪被认为是一种美味的食物。这些兵马俑中有一些是没有开槽的，它们的功能，就像这个罕见的青铜例子一样，仍然未知。这种生物凶狠的外表和他突出的象牙表明他是一头野猪，经过充分驯化，可以戴上带铃铛的链子，这是大多数东爪哇兵马俑存钱罐的共同特征。空心的，这头迷人的野猪被铸造成两部分——前半部分和后半部分。
介绍（英）	During the rule of the Eastern Javanese kingdom of Majapahit (fourteenth through early sixteenth century), there developed a fondness for a category of object apparently derived from the Western piggy bank. Many terracotta pigs, naturalistic and usually well sculpted, with slots cut at the top so that they could serve as coin boxes, have been recovered from around Trowulan, the Majapahit capital. Even though swine must have played an important role in the domestic economy, the reasons for the great popularity of this animal shape for coin boxes in Eastern Java are unclear. It has been suggested that the shape is a well-suited allusion to financial success as well as culinary delights, since pork and especially suckling pigs are considered a great delicacy. A few of these terracotta pigs are unslotted, and their function, like that of this rare example in bronze, remains unknown. The fierce look of this creature and his projecting tusks suggest he is a wild boar who is sufficiently domesticated to wear a chain with a bell, a common feature of most of the Eastern Javanese terracotta piggy banks. Hollow, this charming boar was cast in two sections—front half and back half.
