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 that tall shoots of thickets across the grasslands as the cub, full of folly, jumps on her back. Tigers have a certain reverence and symbolism to their essence. Some are, power, energy, royalty, protection, generosity, illumination and unpredictability. Asian lore considers the tiger the protector of the dead, and will often be seen in graves as a mark of protection, assuring peace for those who have passed. The bronze sculpture was cast using the archaic method of lost-wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for perpetuation. They are mounted upon a black marble base with the artist Milo's signature.
