The Heart of the Jungle, Captured in Art The tiger is a symbol of ferocity and independence, but to her cubs, the tigress is a sanctuary. Our Antique White & Gold Tiger Bust Carrying Cub celebrates this softer, protective side of the magnificent big cat. Designed for the discerning art lover, this piece moves beyond standard animal figurines to offer a gallery-worthy sculpture that fits perfectly in modern and traditional homes alike. A Unique Artistic Format Most wildlife statues depict the full body of the animal. We have chosen a bust format for this piece, focusing intimately on the interaction between the mother and her young. The Pose: The mother holds the cub by the scruff of the neck—nature’s way of safe transport. The cub is curled up, trusting and safe. The Base: The sculpture rises from a sleek, matte black block base. This not only provides stability but also elevates the piece visually, giving it the presence of a classic museum artifact. Sophisticated Color Palette We designed this statue to blend with neutral and metallic interior trends. The Finish: The body is painted in a textured, antique white that looks like weathered stone or vintage ivory. This neutral tone softens the intense imagery of the tiger. The Accents: To bring the piece to life, the stripes are hand-painted in a subtle metallic gold. This adds depth and a hint of opulence that catches the light without being flashy. Symbolism for Your Space In Feng Shui and general symbology, a tiger represents protection against negative energy. A mother carrying a cub specifically amplifies the energy of family safety and nurturing. In the Office: A symbol of leadership that is both strong and supportive. In the Entryway: A guardian figure welcoming guests. In the Nursery: A beautiful, artistic nod to the bond between parent and child. The Ideal Gift This is a gift that carries deep emotional weight.
