As a spirit animal, the meaning for the tiger is said to be total willpower, courage,  and personal strength. Some recognize tigers and dragons as powerful symbols  representing the balanced forces of yin and yang. The Chinese god of wealth, Tsai  Shen Yeh, is often shown sitting on top of a tiger to emphasize his power. In  Chinese culture, tigers are seen as the guardian of children.

As a material, the teak root was sourced from the finest teak plantations in Java,  Indonesia, which is known to have the ideal conditions for high grade Teak quality.  Teak is the common name for the tropical hardwood tree species Tectona grandis  and its wood products, native to South and Southeast Asia. It is known for its  incredible durability and water resistance. Teak has a high oil content, giving it the  highest decay-resistance among all-natural wood products. Due to its durability,  while it is still used for boat building, yachts, exterior construction, indoor and  outdoor furniture, it also very dear to artists and sculptors for making intricate  carvings and elaborate sculptures. Lotus Arts de Vivre uses various free-formations  of the teak branches, teak root or drift wood to further hand-carve and create its  designs, giving wood a second life.
