A white jade ‘sutra’ qilin
The recumbent mythical beast resting on its belly with flaming hoofed
legs tucked compactly underneath, its head raised and turned right
looking backwards with a ferocious expression, framed by a pair of thin
whiskers and horns, its jaws opened wide showing sharpened teeth,
exhaling a misty breath gradually materialising into an opened sutra, the
pronounced spine ending in a trifurcated tail, zitan stand.
7.3cm wide. (2).
HK$250,000 - 300,000
