Evil Tiger Necklace

A fierce head with tall pointed ears and a narrow, ridged snout stares out from this bronze-toned pendant. Its brow is drawn down into a frown, a crest like a flame runs up the middle of the forehead, and spiky tufts of fur jut out at the cheeks and chin. The head breaks over a round frame behind it, so the edges look cut away and the piece has real depth.

A dark emblem with an antique finish

The metal has an aged bronze tone, darker in the hollows and brighter on the raised ridges, which brings out every line of the face. Its long ears and slim muzzle give it more of a wolf's profile than a tiger's, and it reads as a dark, mythical beast rather than a lifelike portrait. In many traditions the tiger is a totem of courage, as our article on the tiger animal totem recounts. More styles, from yin yang designs to gold heads, are collected in our tiger necklace collection.

Size and materials

The pendant is made of copper and measures 3x4.5 cm. It hangs from a silver-tone bail on a 50cm chain with fine, close-set links.
