Leather Tiger (Pi Laohu), also known as "Huqiu Playthings" (traditional folk toys originating from Huqiu, Suzhou), is a distinctive traditional handicraft toy. It gets its name from the tiger-like roar it produces when played with, and is crafted from sheepskin. As one of China's most iconic painted toys, its historical origins date back to the Ming Dynasty(1368―1644).
