Metal Bionic Tiger Statue

A winged tiger crouches low on this metal statue, front legs stretched forward and jaws open in a snarl, while a pair of bat-like wings fans up from its shoulders and a long tail curls into a spiral behind it. The whole creature is built from flat plates of brushed silver-tone metal, with stripes cut through the body and small flame-shaped tufts rising from the haunches.

A tiger built from cut metal plates

The figure is assembled from cut-out pieces slotted together, with slits tracing the ribs of the wings, and small round studs mark the joints at the shoulders and hips. This layered construction gives the figure its mechanical, futuristic character, and the brushed surface catches the light along every edge. It reads as a mythical beast more than a portrait of a wild cat, at home on a desk or a bookshelf.

Size and material

The statue is made of metal and measures 9x1.5x6 cm. It weighs about 200 g. The wing tips and the ends of the plates are thin cut metal, so the piece is a display figure rather than a toy.
