MONGOLIAN LEOPARD portrays a boy of the Mongolian royal court. He wears a fashionable ancient costume with an elaborately adorned hat. His high collar and his tunic’s asymmetric front closure are traditional Mongolian designs as is the black geometric motif on the front and back of his bodice.
The blue color of his attire symbolizes eternity, faithfulness, and loyalty. When Mongolia was first established in 1206 AD, it was called “Blue Mongolia” and the imperial palace was known as the “Blue Palace”. His pet baby leopard sits by his side.
