Product Description
In Chinese mythology, the tiger is one of the four sacred animals representing the cardinal directions, with a strong association to the west and the autumn season. The other three guardians in this revered group are the Azure Dragon of the east, the Vermilion Bird of the south, and the Black Tortoise of the north. These mythical creatures are believed to protect and watch over the land and are commonly featured in various cultural and religious contexts.

History
The tiger is one of the twelve animal signs in the Chinese zodiac, with each animal representing a year in a twelve-year cycle.
