This Indigo Tiger is a fully handmade textile figure crafted by Miao women from Guizhou villages. It blends ancient batik dyeing traditions with delicate hand embroidery, resulting in a charming yet dignified piece of folk art. Each tiger is made from coarse-weave pure cotton, filled with high-quality pearl cotton, and undergoes a meticulous process including wax-drawing, dyeing, wax removal, washing, embroidery, and sewing. Ideal as a home decoration or a meaningful gift, every piece is one-of-a-kind and a vivid embodiment of China’s rich intangible heritage. Patterns are shipped randomly—thank you for understanding the beauty of handcraft uniqueness.
