In the 1982 Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition catalogue of the Guennol Collection, Adele Earnest writes that "The Zoar sow is attributed to a member of the Zoar community in Ohio, a German 'Separatist' society founded in 1817. According to records the members were dedicated, God-Fearing people who came to this country in search of religious and civil liberty. Each member contributed his or her share of labor and craft. To be able to work with one's hands was considered a godly gift as well as an earthly necessity" (p. 240).
