Articulated Tiger Figurine – Handmade Paper Mâché from Odisha
This paper mâché tiger figurine with an articulated head is a decorative artisanal piece, crafted entirely by hand in the Odisha region of India. The head articulates on the body using a traditional attachment system, a skill passed down through generations.
Each figurine is the result of a long manual process: carving the body and head separately, natural drying, then painting entirely with a brush by the artisan.
Painted with colorful motifs (yellow, orange, red, black) that evoke the tiger's stripes and piercing gaze, this piece pays homage to an emblematic figure of traditional Indian bestiary. Its articulated movement gives it a playful and lively side, halfway between a decorative figurine and a handmade toy.
