Judensau

A Judensau (German for "Jews' sow")[1][2][3] is a folk art[4] image of Jews in obscene contact with a large sow (female pig), which in Judaism is an unclean animal. These first appeared in the 13th century in Germany[1] and some other European countries, and remained popular for over 600 years.[5]
