Summary
A soft toy tiger which is made from fur fabric which is mainly light brown with black printed stripes, white on the tummy, chin, insides of ears and round the eyes, and stuffed with an unknown substance which includes some plastic pellets (the 'beans' in beanie toys) to provide extra weight in the middle. He has been sewn in a sleeping position. He has a pink plastic nose and clear nylon whiskers, and his eyes are simple straight stitches worked in black yarn. Sewn into a leg seam is a cotton tape label printed in red with the manufacturer's details. Attached by nylon tags are a colour-printed, white, square (folded) cardboard tag and a moulded, circular plastic tag. The cardboard tag contains manufacturer's information, washing instructions and a bar code, with photographs of other soft toys on the 'covers'. The plastic tag is made from grey plastic which is moulded and stamped in gold-coloured ink with 'Leosco' and an image of a creature which has a lion's head and a scorpion's body.
