Detail:  If you possess a Qilin, it is a good omen.  Acquired in a rural Chinese village by a San Francisco collector.  Circa mid- to late-1900’s.  In very good condition.  A small amount of oxidation is present that can be removed with a cotton cloth and some coconut oil.  Coconut oil will not affect the metal.
