The other end of the Sleeping Tiger Mural showed the tiger's foot by a river and waterfall. Patterned cloth had been pulled back to reveal the scene beyond, with its dark mountains and cloudy blue sky.

Blue pearls floated around the sleeping tiger's neck. The sleeping tiger had pulled the patterned fabric off the wall and around itself to stay warm.

A candle was painted near to the Sleeping Tiger. It was lit, and provided a soft glow while the tiger slept.

A closer shot of the face of the Sleeping Tiger. Up close it could easily be mistaken for a sleeping house cat.
