In Chinese culture, the tiger is the symbol of courage, strength, and bravery. The Wealth and Health tiger is red, a powerful color befitting the tiger, representing good fortune and joy. Gold represents wealth and prosperity. The tiger’s stripes are painted in the style of Chinese calligraphy, paying homage to the ancient art. “Happy New Year” is written across the tiger’s body and the symbol for double happiness is on the tiger’s head. The Chinese characters are carefully positioned on the tiger to emulate the unique characteristic markings of real tigers. The tiger’s stripes also flow like water representing 2022, the year of the water tiger. The year itself winds like a river around the tiger’s paws creating its toes.
