The Purloined Pig is an infamous origami model. The story goes that Akira Yoshizawa (an origami master from Japan) created an origami model of a pig. At the same time Alfredo Cerceda (an origami master from Argentina) exhibited the same model. While it is conceivable that two men on separate sides of the world could create an origami model that is similar, the similarities were so close that each man accused the other of theft. Speculations and accusations have been thrown form all corners of the origami world but there has been no resolution as to who actually created The Purloined Pig.
