靜觀乾坤 — 'quietly surveying heaven and earth' — is the confidence of a small tiger who has already decided the room is his. With no scenery painted at all, the whole picture is the crouch: ink-black stripes over ochre, whiskers stiffened forward, tail raised in a long S. Hang it facing the door in an entryway, or in an office behind the desk. Symbolism & Feng Shui The descending tiger (Xià Shān Hǔ) is the fierce guardian form, painted mid-stride with its muzzle lowered. Hang it at the entrance or in a hallway with the tiger facing outward: it is the traditional guardian that turns misfortune away from the household. Craftsmanship 100% hand-painted in the traditional Chinese gongbi (fine-brush) technique on rice paper, created by our artists in Minquan, Henan — China's "Tiger Painting Village".
