Celebrating the Year of the Tiger

1998 is the chinese Year of the Tiger. The tiger is the third zodiac animal in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Proclaimed `King of the Beasts', the tiger is highly respected for its strength and courage. In ancient times, it was believed that the tiger could ward off evil. Its stripes are said to be auspicious as they symbolize the balanced forces of the `yin' and `yang'.

In conjunction with the 1998 Chinese Lunar Year of the Tiger, Royal Selangor has created a magnificent sculpture of the tiger in pewter. Capturing the vitality of this majestic creature, it depicts a tiger descending a mountain - a pose said to symbolize courage and strength, ideal qualities of a guardian and protector.

Tiger descending the Mountain by Royal Selangor is a result of meticulous research and study. Carefully contoured, it reflects the powerful and ferocious personality of the tiger and at the same time, conveys the natural grace and fluidity of the creature in its pose. The pewter sculpture which rests on a wooden base makes an impressive decorative item for this Year of the Tiger. It is also an ideal gift as it comes with a pewter plate which can be engraved and affixed onto the wooden base.
