Smiling Tiger comes straight out of Chinese New Year woodblock prints: round staring eyes, a wide saw-tooth grin and a plump body that reads more like a guardian than a predator. In the old folk tradition the exaggerated face is meant to scare bad luck away from the door at the start of the year.
- Material: solid cast brass (H65), traditional lost-wax casting
- Size: 12 x 10 x 12 cm (4.7 x 3.9 x 4.7 in), approx. 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs)
- Finish: hand-painted amber orange over gold, mottled patina on the haunches, hand-detailed face
- Each piece is individually finished; slight tonal variations are natural and unique
- Ships in shock-proof foam with reinforced export packaging
At 12 cm it sits easily on a desk, a shelf, a console or a bedside table. A natural gift for a housewarming, a new business or anyone born in the year of the tiger.
