About the Item
A striking and whimsical large vintage papier-mâché tiger sculpture, crafted circa 1970s in a bold folk art style. This expressive piece features a dynamic stance, hand-painted stripes, and an open-mouthed grin that adds personality and a touch of the surreal.

The sculpture is lightweight yet sturdy, making it perfect as a statement piece for a living room, eclectic gallery wall, or children's space.
