Sign for the Trusty Servant The Trusty Servant has a satirical sign. It depicts the ideal servant - a creature with a pig's head, standing for unfussiness in diet, with its snout locked for secrecy. The ears are of an ass, for patience, and it has stag's feet for swiftness. The left hand holds a brush, shovel and two-pronged fork. The sign has been painted by P J Oldreive.
