I continued my Final Major Project research at the V&A. My interests turned towards lions and tigers, particularly in the oriental textiles. I also especially like The Chelsea Carpet (below) made in Iran in 1500-50. Many of the handmade fabircs depicted animals, usually fighting.
Pair of throne legs, Ivory, 1100-1200.
Ironwork.
Costumes from the recent Lion King musical.
Section of the 'Tiger Taming Arhat', 1700.
