What objects could represent Old Major in the book Animal Farm?

This is a little bit difficult because Old Major dies so early in book.  We don't really get to know all that much about him except for his political ideas.


The only traits I associate with Old Major are


  • He's old

  • He was a prize-winning boar and still looks majestic

  • He's an intellectual -- a thinker and very wise.

None of these lend themselves too well to objects, I don't think.  My best thoughts would be a cane for his age, a pair of reading glasses or some sort of philosophy book or something like that to show his intellect.
