THE ROYAL BENGAL TIGER

From Siberia to Sumatra, the Tiger is the most loved of all the big cats. In Indian mythology, he is perceived as the guardian of the jungle and the carrier of the Mother Goddess. THE ROYAL BENGAL TIGER is perceived as an icon of strength, speed and agility. In India, tigers are revered in ancient texts, folk traditions, art, dance and music.

AP Limited Editions offers a magnificent tribute to the Lord of the Jungle in a Russian Miniature art (Palekh School) rendering of THE ROYAL BENGAL TIGER, resplendent in his natural habitat – the Sunderbans Mangrove forest of Eastern India.

‘Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright

In the forests of the night

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?’

(William Blake, “The Tyger”, Songs of Experience)
