Royal Selangor Sculptura Collection Malayan Tiger Cub

MeasurementSize H8.5cm x 5.3cm x 6.9cmDescriptionAn inquisitive juvenile Malayan tiger Panthera tigris tigris observes the world around it. Rendered in bright finish pewter, its distinctive stripes borrow from East Malaysia’s unique tattoo design tradition. While this delightful cub won’t add to the tiger’s severely depleted numbers in the wild, it is hoped that it will focus some attention on the critically-endangered species’ precarious situation.132 years of CraftsmanshipSince 1885, our designers and craftsmen have expressed their love and understanding of the material by continuously pushing the envelope in pewter design while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship.
