Our realistic tiger head sculpture is built upon a handmade, lightweight base,
covered with several kinds of faux fur. Its eyes and nose are also handmade, and
the teeth are a hand painted taxidermy “jaw set”.
Our first realistic tiger was the result of a special order for a
“more ferocious” tiger. It has become one of our better selling
designs.
This tiger would be an excellent mascot for a team or business.
GO TIGERS!
About Tigers
Tigers are found in India, Manchuria, China, and Indonesia. They are the
largest cats, weighing up to 850 pounds (385 Kg), and are among the animals most
endangered by mankind’s expansion.
We call this more gentle, closed mouth tiger, our rust colored
tiger head sculpture.
Our artist Merikay creates the striped markings by carefully cutting three colors of man-made
fur and attaching it to a handmade base. Her techniques for making big cat noses has evolved
since this and the picture below were taken. She now create the noses using polymer clay,
as shown on the realistic tiger above.
Let this tiger’s tranquil demeanor enhance your home or office, or that of your favorite tiger fan!
This handcrafted blue-eyed white tiger head sculpture is
far less ferocious than the tigers in Las Vegas. It will make a sharp addition
to a room with jungle decor. It will also fit well into any home or office inhabited
by a tiger lover!
A bit of history: this is a picture of our artist Merikay’s first
animal from 1974. It was crocheted and soft-stuffed. We still have it! It is not
for sale.
If you crochet, please see our books
on crocheting several kinds of animal heads and soft-stuffed birds.
