Created in the 1970s just as China was beginning its ascent as a global economic force, this set of four painted panels based on mythological tales seem to foretell the nation’s strength and power. Pictured in what is described as a “yellow mountain atmosphere,” a lion and tiger play protector and conqueror - the lion staring down a snake and the tiger bearing down on a hapless deer. Accompanied by text posing the question, "which creature is stronger?," each magnificent beast is portrayed at the full height of its powers, rendered in high-keyed colors that give the work great vitality.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
