STONE TURTLE AND TIGER INDIA 18TH CENTURY Dimensions: Height 3,5 to 5,5 cm Weight: 169 grams A pair of small carved stone animals comprising a recumbent tiger and a turtle, each conceived as a compact sculpture in the round. The tiger is set on an integral rectangular base, with emphatic eyes, stylised facial features and a simplified mane; the turtle is defined by its rounded shell and low, solid body. Natural banding and variations in the stone contribute additional pattern and colour to both figures. The tiger and turtle carry long-standing symbolic associations in Asian visual culture. Their intimate scale makes them engaging miniature carvings with decorative and sculptural appeal. Both pieces show age-related wear, chips and abrasions. The tiger has losses to the paws and tail, while the turtle displays natural fissures; an old break and repair is also recorded.
