Brass Qilin with Ram Horns.  China

Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures

 

 

Very unusual.  Usually Qilin’s have deer horns but this stylized version looks a lot like ram horns.

 

Regardless, this is really a cool mythological beast and will bring prosperity and serenity to its owner.

 

Acquired in the 1990s from a Toronto Canada collector of Qilins.  Developing a fine patina.

 

This item has SOLD.  Thanks M.H. !!!
