Description
This impressive tiger statue is carved from noble marble, which, with its rich pattern and texture, adds depth and longevity to the work. The sculpture captures the tiger in full force, when ready to attack. Detailed rendering of his muscles, tense body and facial expression emphasizes not only the craftmanship of the creator, but also the dynamism and energy of the beast.
Tiger's position is full of tension, with one foot forward and sharp claws, indicating his readiness to jump and attack. Finely crafted details, such as sharp teeth and piercing eyes, they give the statue a realistic look. Marble drawing, which stretches over the entire surface of the statue, creates a unique play of colors and structures, which makes each view of the work unique.
The statue is connected to the pedestal, which imitates rock, whereby the whole is enhanced and appears even more dynamic. This is a unique collector's item, which would take a place in any gallery or luxury interior.
