It is not easy to carve a tiger out of jade, but it is quite good to carve it like this

Jade carving is not an easy task. One has to choose the right material, skillfully carve cracks and patterns, make use of the colors, and also consider the overall layout. Most importantly, no matter whether carving a person or an animal, both the shape and expression must be taken into account, otherwise it will look fake.

Among the many carving subjects, the tiger is one of the most difficult. Because the tiger has a lot of details and is a common image among people, it is easy for people to notice anything wrong.

I think the tiger carvings below are very well done.

The yellow jade is skillfully carved, and the pendant looks like a mighty tiger. There are two tigers carved, a big tiger head with a small tiger lying on it. The details are very good, especially the pointy teeth, which are very impressive.

The ice-glutinous variety is as powerful as a tiger. Also carved is a tiger head, showing the posture of stretching its neck and roaring, which is lifelike.

Ice-type tiger pendant, first of all, the material is very well selected, icy and transparent, coupled with delicate carvings, it perfectly shows the heroic posture of the tiger.

Ice-glutinous tri-color tiger-like pendant. The material is tri-color and rich in colors. It is carved with a lying tiger, and its two paws are a bit cute.

Old pit ice type, clear green, fierce and powerful. First of all, the material is very good, the clear water is icy green, and it looks very pleasing to the eye. The tiger sculpture is simple and elegant, without too many details, but it uses simple shapes to show a vivid image.

The violet jade tiger seal has bright color, old texture and rich water. The overall shape is very clever, serving as both a seal and a pendant. The tiger is in a lying position, with full details and is very well carved.

Emerald green tiger pendant. This is a pair of pendants. The two tigers are facing each other, each with its own characteristics, which is very interesting.
