A BRONZE 'QILIN' CENSER AND COVER
MING DYNASTY, 16TH CENTURY
The sturdy beast is heavily cast standing foursquare, its head modelled with bulging eyes and a broad, flat nose; the mouth agape to reveal its set of sharp teeth; all below pricked ears and a single horn. The ridged spine forms part of a detachable cover above the opening on its back.
