This design features a tiger ascending a mountainous peak, mighty and ferocious. It calls out to the other animals with a roar, announcing its rightful place as king. From raised fur to tongue, the tiger’s power comes through in the sculpture. The sculptural realism connects with the viewer, igniting the tiger within. Under its mighty paws is a ruyi, an ancient Chinese symbol of auspiciousness and hope. The ruyi’s unique and elegant shape is often found in Chinese art. LIULI combines traditional Chinese totems with realism as a blessing for a mighty, prolific, and benevolent new year.
