A CIZHOU BLACK AND WHITE “ROUGED LIPS” TIGER PILLOW
Song Dynasty |
|
Rather whimsical looking, this tiger pillow does not exhibit the fierce qualities of a tiger. In fact, this tiger looks quite cuddly. Written in calligraphic style on the flat white top are the Chinese characters, “Dian Jiang Chun (rouged lips).” The two ends of the pillow form the tail and head of the tiger. Tiger stripes are painted on the longer sides of the pillow. With a tail running along one side of its body, the beast appear even more endearing. According to folk legend, tiger pillows are like a patron saint that wards off evil spirits and bad luck. This delightful tiger pillow is a great furnishing addition for the home. |
