Detailed Description
A stylized tiger is depicted in profile, facing left, on a light, off-white background. The tiger is predominantly yellow with thin, black, horizontal stripes covering its body, legs, and tail. Its head features large, round eyes with black pupils, a small open mouth revealing white teeth, and pointed ears. A red collar with a scalloped lower edge is around its neck. A saddle-like covering rests on its back, consisting of a reddish-brown base with a rectangular red panel in the center, outlined by white dots. The tiger's body is elongated, and its tail curves upwards and then loops back down. Its front left paw is raised, while the other three paws are on the ground. Scattered around the tiger are several small, dark green, fan-shaped tufts of grass. The entire composition is framed by a double red line border on the left and right edges of the light background. Faint, dark script is visible in the upper right corner of the background.
