More model informationTipu’s Tiger is an 18th-century automaton, currently at the Victoria and Albert Museum, crafted to depict an Indian tiger attacking a European soldier. Commissioned by Tipu Sultan, a ruler of Mysore, India, the automaton features a crank-driven audio mechanism that simulates the sounds of the tiger’s growls and the soldier’s moans. Beyond its technological intrigue, it symbolizes Tipu Sultan’s defiance against British colonialism.
