This is a striking vintage carved stone statue of a Qilin (also known as a Kirin), a mythical hooved chimerical creature known in Chinese and other East Asian cultures. Expertly carved from stone with a weathered, dark finish, the figure features intricate detailing in its scaled body, fierce facial expression, and curled tail.
The Qilin is depicted in a seated, guarding stance, with one paw resting on a small object, and is mounted on a sturdy rectangular plinth base. Traditionally a symbol of prosperity, good fortune, and protection, this piece makes a captivating decorative accent for a bookshelf, mantel, desk, or entryway.
