Product Description
In Chinese mythology, the tiger is one of the four sacred animals representing the cardinal directions, with a strong association to the west and the autumn season. The other three guardians in this revered group are the Azure Dragon of the east, the Vermilion Bird of the south, and the Black Tortoise of the north.
