A sound Tiger Walking stick, France ca. 1900

Mysterious and wraithlike, the tiger is rendered invisible in the jungle, forest or high grasses by its “magical fur cloak” of irregular body stripes. The tiger signifies the stature and ferocity of the professional or momentary warrior, the pure capacity to spring into action at a critical time. The tiger also crosses into fluid dimensions, loving the waters of hidden jungle pools, ocean and swamps.
