Taking inspiration from the year of the Tiger from the Chinese zodiac, this handcrafted functional art piece features a white Bengal tiger emerging from 18kt gold-plated vines. The tiger is handcrafted in sterling silver, with black ruthenium plating and details engraved by hand. An obsidian and precious wood tree is adorned with vines and sterling silver leaves, in 18kt gold plating. A clock with a quartz movement and a carved mother of pearl face is under the tiger. The front of the base includes space for the included lacquered rollerball pen, with a handmade sterling silver tiger head.
