Since the 'piggy bank' has become a common part of our culture (in the 1950s I believe-but I'm not a historian), pigs sort of represent the piggy bank. I think that the pig was bronze affirms this.
Because it had wings, it represents the concept of money 'just flying away'. This is the equivalent of money that has burned a hole in ones pocket.
Other than that...Wings represent freedom, and pigs CAN represent other things, but 'piggy bank' is just the most common now.

Is it pink in color, and does it have pink spots? If so, it could be a model toy from a classic Japanese anime of the '80s, "Granzort."
Hmmm, you say it's made of bronze?? Then this couldn't be it.
Hi Siouxdresden, I had to come back here the third time after giving your question much thought. Is there any chance that the pig with wings was put there just recently?? If so, the pig with wings might not be the actual point. It is my deduction that it was put there because 2007 is the Year of the Pig.

Unfortunately, the phrase has been coined by in a threat before killing two officers Dec 2014. Now the NYPD considers this a threat phrase...so beyond Clinton who coined the phrase: If pigs had wings it would be an eagle". Sadly this puts the cops as the noun and pigs with wings as the adjective and modifier. I think I got that right.......I hope this will be ignore....but pigs generally are a code word in the south for negative comments.

It's the title of a book that I really enjoyed. And the smiling goat represents just that...you may smile on the outside, but no one knows what really goes on inside someone's mind.

"When pigs fly" is the expression the idea of that pig with wings probably comes from. People say "when pigs fly" to mean something that probably will never ever happen.

The flying boar has some significance in chinese cultures, but I'm not sure what exactly.
