The "trunk" either representing the blood shed from their sacrifice and/or the people, pigs and Manpigs slaughtered by The Machine. The heart may be a symbol for the hearts torn out of Edwin and Enoch, and/or the heart of The Machine itself. The markings on its forehead likely represent the Orb on its mantle, with a heart surrounded by a red tree trunk-like shape below.It's possible that the ghosts of Mandus' deceased children are moving the mask, guiding Mandus towards redemption.Or it might just be a figment of Mandus' broken psyche haunting him. The Pig Mask might also be a representation of The Engineer, looming after Mandus and watching him proceed through his journey.But like with Daniel, it's always watching, always knowing where the businessman is. It seems content to just watch Mandus to see what he'll do without interfering him. Like with Daniel, it's constantly pursuing Oswald, though unlike with Daniel, is not directly attacking him, or actively hunting him. ![]()
