This is a striking, large ceramic figurine of a roaring tiger, likely produced in Italy in the 1970s. The piece is characterized by its dynamic pose, with the tiger captured in a fierce roar, baring its teeth and displaying sharp, white fangs. The glaze is glossy, enhancing the details of the tiger's musculature and the bold, black stripes against a warm, yellowish-brown base. The eyes are wide and intense, and the overall impression is one of powerful, untamed energy. The figurine appears to be hollow, typical of ceramic casting, and its size suggests it was intended as a statement decorative piece. Many similar items are attributed to Italian production from the mid to late 20th century.
