forming both figures likely draws upon South Indian
traditions of Hindu religious sculpture. It is typically about
half an inch thick, and now much reinforced on the inside
following bomb damage in World War II. There are many
openings at the head end, formed to match the pattern of
the inner part of the painted tiger stripes, which allow the
sounds from the pipes within to be heard better, and the
tiger is "obviously male". The top part of the tiger's body
can be lifted off to inspect the mechanics by removing four
screws. The construction of the human figure is similar but
the wood is much thicker.

handle a hungry, angry cub. He imitated the sounds of a mother-
tigress. "Within minutes, her confidence was firmly anchored in the
fostering human," is how he recalled those first few minutes between
the legends. Early next morning, Y started for his inspection of the
Tiger Reserve area. I tagged along in the jeep that snaked through

abandon. But soon, I realised that there is greater happiness in
conserving these beautiful animals that do no wanton harm to man.“
