These are a stunning pair of hand painted porcelain statues. Great detail. Kylins / Qilins / Kirins are part of ancient Chinese mythology. They bring luck and protection to children. They also represent a good omen to their owners and can bring serenity and/or prosperity.
Circa mid-1900s. From a private home in Guangzhou. Stands not included. Each are 18″ tall x 7″ wide x 13″ deep. Would make a definite statement in the entry of your home or on your patio.
