Swine Head

彐‧ㄐㄧˋ»
豕頭曰彐 字本作彑 略象豕頭上銳而面部碩大之形 本義作豕頭解 即豬頭 彑 豕之頭也 象其銳而上見之形(通訓定聲‧彑)
Now it's a head. A head of swine that pokes its nose towards the sky. The meaty and puffy face seems being put on a plate whose rim line, in fact, stands for the neck below which other bodily parts remain invisible (or cut off?). A fat swine head put on a plate to serve other words by making them, partially, of itself. What other words? Words that should smell good and look piggy. Of course, all this is only guessing at and fantasizing about a picture of the posture of a swine head.
