• Lot Description
  2000-1000 millennium BC or later. Western Asiatic. Dark brown carved stone figure of a tiger or other large feline. The tiger is depicted sitting on its haunches, but remains clearly alert, as is denoted by its raised head. The details of the beast are carefully incised, and it is intricately ornamented with buta-shaped light brown inlays. The tiger is a symbol of terrible power, strength and exoticism in ancient societies and this beautiful item may have once belonged to an ancient noble or royal. Good condition. Provenance: From an old British collection of Asian Art formed in the 1990 on the UK and European art market. Size: H:100.5mm / W:70mm ; 289g
