A Qilin with another mythological creature on its back with a coin.  This signifies serenity and prosperity.

I love this brownish jade with plenty of detail and a glossy finish.  Mid-1900s.  From a family in the northwest province of Xinjiang.

For the Serious Collector of brown jade and mythological creatures.  Stand not included.
