Bring a piece of Yunnan’s living intangible cultural heritage into your daily life. This Wamao (瓦猫) is a handcrafted folk guardian from Yunnan, China, traditionally inspired by the tiger – known as the “king of beasts.” With its “cat face, tiger spirit,” it symbolizes home protection, peace, and attracting wealth and blessings, a deeply rooted auspicious emblem in Yunnan culture.

This blue-and-grey standing ceramic cat statue decor from Yunnan is made from locally formulated Huaning clay and crafted entirely by hand through kneading, sculpting, painting, and kiln firing. Every detail comes through vividly, and each piece carries the warmth of time and true craftsmanship. Every artwork is one of a kind.
