Gogol's pig snouts

[Dan Newton]

Richard Taruskin says that the pig snouts in Gogol's "Sorochinskaia
iarmarka" are evidence of Gogol's antisemitism (the first one appears to the
Jewish pawnbroker who has cheated the devil out of his red jacket), and by
extension, of Musorgskii's (the opera).

Do you know of any other instances of pig snouts as manifestations of the
devil?  Of antisemitism?  Both?  Any ideas as to origin?

Big thanks in advance.
Dan
