Tiger Family Mother & Cub Bronze Statue Sculpture Figure Marble Base Original Art 8" x 16"

The mother tigress, with her great bulk and power pacified by the heat, lays under the shade of a tree, relaxing with her young cub. The mother peers out intently through the tall shoots of thickets across the grasslands as the cub, full of folly, jumps on her back. This serene scene captures a tender moment of maternal care and the playful energy of youth, showcasing the majestic yet nurturing nature of the tigress. Tigers hold a certain reverence and symbolism in various cultures. They embody power, energy, royalty, protection, generosity, illumination, and unpredictability. In Asian lore, the tiger is often considered the protector of the dead and is frequently depicted in graves as a mark of protection, ensuring peace for those who have passed. This adds a layer of cultural significance to the sculpture, making it not only a beautiful piece of art but also a symbol of deeper meanings and traditions. The bronze sculpture was cast using the ancient method of lost-wax casting, ensuring exquisite detail and durability. It is stained with a brown patina finish for preservation and is mounted upon a black marble base, adding a touch of elegance. The artist Milo's signature is etched into the base, marking the piece as a genuine work of art. This sculpture is a perfect addition to any collection, offering both aesthetic beauty and symbolic depth.
