Mother of the Forest

A tigress sits in the green heart of the forest, calm and watchful, her green eyes meeting yours. Every strand of her fur — the warm orange flank, the bold black stripes, the soft white chest — is laid by hand in fine silk thread, in the Suzhou embroidery tradition.

In Chinese tradition the tiger is the king of beasts — a guardian whose presence protects the home and drives away harm. This mother carries that strength quietly: power at rest, always watching over her own. A commanding piece for a living room, study or entryway.
