The three-dimensional pure silver jaguar is positioned at the top, with its dynamic posture of raising its head and bracing itself as the visual focal point. Paired with the simple and sleek briar wood body, it creates a contrast between movement and stillness, highlighting the artistic appeal.
The curved abdomen of the jaguar serves as the pressing surface, conforming to the curvature of the fingers. Its limbs encircle the edge of the pressing head, enhancing grip stability. The height of the silver jaguar is controlled within 2 cm to ensure portability.
The silver jaguar is crafted using a combination of 3D casting and hand-finishing techniques. Through mortise-and-tenon embedding and silver soldering, a secure integration of wood and silver is achieved. The joints are polished to ensure a smooth touch.
By integrating the totem culture of Native Americans, the jaguar at the top becomes a symbol of strength. This design enhances the ceremonial feel of pipe smoking and showcases the user's individuality and spiritual pursuits.
