This is the moment a bizarre bouquet with a pig’s head surrounded by flowers stuns a birthday party in central China.

A video of the celebrations – in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province – shows the birthday girl’s best friend arriving with her weird tribute on 17th December.

But far from being offended, the party host was delighted and later cooked the porker to show how much she had appreciated it.

A video of the bouquet’s arrival – shot by the host’s sister-in-law Mrs Huang and shared on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok- shows her squealing in delight as her pal turns up.

The pig’s head can be seen surrounded by green foliage and holding a single white rose in its mouth.

Mrs Huang said another guest had brought a goose to the party as a birthday present.

The party girl later shared a video of the cooked gifts to show how much she had enjoyed them.

Pigs are often associated with wealth and success in China.

Excavations of graves up to 5,000 years old in Dafenkou have sometimes discovered up to 14 pig sets buried with the body along with other treasures like ceramic pottery and jewellery.
