Crystal Tiger, Chinese Zodiac, "Roaring into the Heavens"

Design Description:

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.

老虎作為猛獸，深刻影響著人類社會。有時，它更像一位老師，教會人類遇到目標時專注，追逐目標時勇猛，達到目的後沉穩。若要以一種材質形容這位老師，琉璃在合適不過了。琉璃經過1400多度高溫淬煉，如同虎在野外忍受著殘酷的自然環境；琉璃淬煉完成精細打磨，熠熠生輝，也如同虎在每一次捕獵前細心觀察、高度專注，最後一氣呵成，勝利而歸。老虎腳下是如意造型，象徵新一年如意順心，萬事亨通的吉象寓意。
